Natural Harry on cooking, collaboration and (anti)consumerism.

Hey multi-passionate peeps! Here's a chick who's notorious for turning every hobby into a jobbie and doing it pretty darn brilliantly.

Harriet Birrell, aka. Natural Harry, is a serial entrepreneur who specialises in healthy, conscious, creative businesses with heart -- and today we're quizzing her about her process.
 
Harry shares her intuitive approach to business and life, maintaining a flexible schedule that allows for creativity, evolving  projects to align with her values (even if that means shutting them down) and finding success despite 'not having a business brain'.

This open-water-swimming, tiny-house-dwelling, deliciously-self-deprecating woman is a breath of fresh air in a world of slick brands and brazen confidence. Down-to-earth all the way.
