A lifelong paper-and-pen enthusiast, she moved through decorative planning, travellers notebooks and bullet journalling before developing a creative daily journalling practice focused on memory-keeping, reflection and making ordinary life worth noticing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHer own practice continues to evolve across daily, media and commonplace journalling, with photo journalling the next area she is exploring. She brings a practical, low-pressure approach to creative journalling: learn the tools, understand what works for you, and let the practice evolve. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy day, Mira leads data and technology for an FMCG company; outside work she is an enthusiastic collector and user of stamps, fountain pens, inks, washi tape and other paper supplies whether intended for journalling or not.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVenue\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur venue is inside Cobblestones Museum.
