artist sponsored by brands such as Givenchy , Dior , MAC , L ’ Oreal and Bobby Brown and featured in magazines such as Elle and Vogue Italia . She was creative director in a number of events in Belgium recruiting fashion designers , make up artists , musicians and models and thrived in the eclectic and innovating fashion scene . She moved back to Belfast in 2012 with a newborn baby and she bravely embarked in a new career in another passion – coffee . Something she thrived at and with her tireless dedication , her business grew steadily and she expanded her love and knowledge of coffee into opening a coffee roaster in 2015 . This allowed her to import green beans and roast them in Belfast to supply her dedicated customer base and wholesale to other establishments allowing a more personal coffee experience . In the future , she hopes to build a relationship with all female coffee producers and support the education and training she was fortunate enough to receive herself as a single parent . @ bodenparkcoffee
