Esther Dekoning is a multi-passionate creative based in Hamilton, Ontario.
By trade she is a designer, and by design she is an explorer.
Esther likes to call herself a Wandering Creative (trademark pending). She builds her life around exploration and following her lil’ Creative Source wherever she is led. That means getting excited about new ventures and trying her hand at creative hobbies whenever her heart desires.
She believes that we’re all designed to be curious and try new things. Some drift off, but some stick. All of them help her make better sense of the world and her place in it. For Esther, it’s all about the journey—and the play that happens along the way.
She loves sharing her creative life and hopes you join her journey, or at least learn something new!
