I came across The Fringe Arts a good few months ago, just when the Spier Contemporary Exhibition was closing down. Intrigued by the concept of their pop-up shop, I looked them up on the Internet. When they popped up in Green Point during the World Cup, I paid them a visit. It was love at first sight.

I remember thinking that I would love to work in a place like that. Then, I forgot all about it and just enjoyed being there. So when I saw that they were looking to expand their team, I sent my CV. I have no background in either art or design and certainly no sales experience, so other than my love for beauty and an inexplicable infatuation with this business, I had no leg to stand on. Then again, I had sent that wish out to the Universe and it would be a slap in the face not to pursue the opportunity now…

To make a long story short: I met with both the owners and on Monday I am starting at The Fringe Arts’ next pop-up shop. A case of the forces of the Universe conspiring to make happen what your heart desires, I think.
