Nadja has been doing various types of arts and crafts since she was a little girl. Her interest in macramé started with the trusty pot hanger patterns that were taught to her at school. She did not discover micro-macramé until her emigration to Swaziland. On one of her visits to the local African craft markets, Nadja observed a Swazi woman weaving a stunning beaded necklace for the countries young maidens also known as 'Imbali'. This was her introduction to micro-macramé. Since then, Nadja has been inspired by the colourful African art and began to develop her own style.

Nadja enjoys designing intricate jewelry pieces using a variety of supplies. She especially enjoys working with all natural materials such as semi-precious gemstones, fresh water pearls, fossils to mention just a few but is not averse to using man-made materials, too. Her preferred knotting cord is Thai wax cord.

Nadja has been crafting for a long time, but has only begun her journey as a macramé teacher recently. Over the last 5 years Nadja has researched different knotting techniques and styles and has been writing PDF tutorials on different macramé techniques in the past year for beginner and advanced levels alike.
