Behind the Canvas

 Hi, I’m Shay, A proud Gen-X, coastal native, born under the southern skies on a hot mid-summer’s afternoon. Some may know me as Flamingo Chick, my alter ego & inner muse who shares my personal values centred on fun, curiosity, & kindness (FCK). Unnaturally obsessed with creativity (& flamingos), I’m known as a ‘Muse Whisperer’. I identify as a world wandering ambivert,  sea loving mage, & maverick artist, with a dash of neuro-dynamic spice (& all things nice).
Devoted to both my fur & human families, I’m grateful to be a loving & loyal wife to my innovative & adventure loving mountain man. Liberated from corporate captivity, & bravely recovering from a modern dose of burnout, bullying & betrayal, I’ve  grown each time I’ve faced obstacles, including a painful illness that impacted quality of life from my teenage years through my twenties, culminating in personal loss when my dreams of motherhood were broken three times.
From this & other significant challenges, I learned to design my life & create more peace, harmony & authentic joy everyday. I found my beautiful Omah Segara, (home by the sea), where I  found my bliss living with curiosity & creativity in my magically simple abundant life. Life design helps me to grow & thrive, I love more, give more, I’ve become more, & live more everyday. Now I help others through Life Design Creative. With fun, curious & kind creativity & a little magick, we can all live more blissful lives. Although childless here on Earth, I am mama to three (pink feathered) baby angels in heaven - the catalyst & origin of The3Flamingos. From a small idea born from personal grief, T3F evolved to help others, and grew to encompass three businesses: FCKcreative, Life Design Creative, and Omah Segara. I warmly welcome & invite you to explore & discover for yourself the magick & mystery, illuminating insights, inspiring imagery & practical philosophies that help you bring design to your life too.
