Introduction:

If I told you the truth, you wouldn’t believe it.

My backstory:

I was born in London, but my parents are Albanian. Yes, like Dua Lipa. No, I don’t know her. Went to school in Dulwich. Did a foundation course in Wimbledon, then studied design in Warwickshire. I’m a graphic designer and met Gela through a networking event in Dalston last summer. She sold MMAM to me and suggested I apply. I told her I’m a single parent and some things are in short supply. Like money and time. But she said she’d help out with both. She organised a grant for the fee and said I could choose my hours. I’m grateful for the grant, but none of the other students on the course have young kids and they couldn’t accept I wouldn’t be in the studio 24/7. I can’t lie, I’m glad it’s all over.

Doodle message group [Private] Jem and Patrick, 16 January 2024:

Jem Badhuri

Where are you? Has anything gone wrong yet?

Patrick Bright

We’re on the motorway. All good.

Jem Badhuri

Where are you now?

Patrick Bright

Nearly at Yeovil. I’ll let you know how we get on.

Jem Badhuri

Did you get there OK? What was Ludya’s driving like? Are Alyson and Jonathan behaving themselves?

Patrick Bright

All good, Jem. Very interesting place. A bit weird. But they gave us lots of bits and pieces. You’ll be delighted.

Jem Badhuri

Let Jonathan know the roll of fabric he didn’t tell me about has arrived. We don’t need it yet, so Gela and I stashed it out of the way.
