Following a career spent delivering funded, community‑based projects that supported people into work, and helped others start and grow their businesses, I’m now stepping into a new chapter of my own.

I’ve shaped my creativity, values, and love of slow living into Hen’s Tooth.

An online lifestyle shop rooted in ethical sourcing, quirky charm, and good-quality home, garden, and giftware.

Find well‑made pieces you won’t spot on Amazon, alongside handmade and vintage treasures.

I’ve always been entrepreneurial, with creative projects running alongside my main work. From selling my art as Tom Cat Designs, to writing fiction as Amy C Fitzjohn, to coaching writers through Learn To Love Your Words.

Everything I’ve learned along the way feeds directly into my approach at Hen’s Tooth.
