A warm welcome to our October 2025 start Boost members – Maeve and Veronika
Desk Membership Winner – Maeve Merrick
Maeve is currently working on her dissertation for her MSc in Sustainability and Behaviour Change at the Centre for Alternative Technology. Her research is into how mythology and stories help us psychologically navigate the climate crisis, drawing back to our deep interconnectedness with nature rather than the narrative of separateness.
Workshop Membership Winner – Veronika Ondrujova
Veronika has lots of plans! In her own words:
From Childhood Memories to Future Creations
I’m not just here to learn how to knit—I want to master the art of maintaining and repairing knitting machines, too. These machines are woven into my childhood memories and my dreams for the future. Now, the future is unfolding before me, and I’m ready to embrace every mistake, tangled yarn, moment of frustration, and joyful discovery along the way. By day, I’m a marketing and social communication professional with over 20 years of experience—10 of those in the creative industries. Currently, I’m refreshing my skills at @Mastered’s Digital Marketing Bootcamp and studying for my Level 3 Teaching and Education qualification. I’m also the founder of @RecreationalWardrobe CIC, where we empower young and emerging creators to prioritise sustainability and circularity in fashion, wellbeing and craft. This knitting machine journey? It’s another thread in the tapestry of learning, creating, and sharing. Let’s see where it takes me!
