Finally, she makes customized crocheted jewelry through her business Creatively Hooked. It’s art in jewelry
form and each piece is unique.
If you could describe your business in one word, what would that word be?
Creative. That’s just who she is. She’s able to look at everyday objects and see the beauty in them. Ordinary
things force her to think outside the box.
Who inspires you and why?
Nicole McLaren-Campbell inspires Fiona because she’s an amazing powerhouse. Despite being an average
Jamaican, she was able to bring her dream to fruition. She knows how to motivate others and get your engine
going. Nothing was handed to her; she worked hard to get to where she is now.
What advice would you give to people trying to turn their artistic talents into a business?
Just go for it. There’s no such thing as can’t. Dive in. Fear will always be there, but you must look past it so that
you can achieve success. She was afraid to fail and was allowing that fear to hold her back. However, she
realized that she has to fall sometimes in order to get to new heights. We must creep before we walk.
Find the right support system. Her family has so much faith in her and pushes her. If she didn’t have her family
pushing her she would have given up a long time ago. Your support system doesn’t necessarily have to be your
family, but you should have at least one close friend who can provide that support. You’ll need it.
