My Story

''Not all those who
wanderers are lost ''

Nice that you are here. My name is Namaya and I am an artist and designer. From a young age I always liked to be creative. I have experience in retail but also as an interior designer, sign maker and graphic designer. Over the years I have immersed myself in drawing, writing, painting and making things with my hands and the sewing machine.

In 2016 my body was declared chronically ill and this made me want to make my dreams come true. This has completely changed my character and my self-image. It was a relief for me because there is nothing wrong with me, I am just different and that is okay. This was the way out and letting go of a life that did not suit me any longer. It was then also clear to me that I am the creator in my own life and that I have to take the wheel into my own hands to improve my life. I am good enough and it is not bad to choose for myself and listen to myself. My own unique self was born after I finally started choosing for myself at the age of 26, but that did not go without pain, physically, energetically, mentally and spiritually.


''Yes mom indeed,
I am a dreamer.''

Life is short and since 2019 I have fully focused on manifesting my dream life and developing my own craft room and my handmade shop. Yes mom indeed, I am a dreamer. Because in 2022 I created my first handmade collection, called '☆DREAM☆' with all kinds of unique handmade items that make me happy. This collection was first released at the Culturele Pleinmarkt in Apeldoorn (The Netherlands).

Dream Journals is my brand name and I came up with it because I make dreamcatchers and diaries. In a next blog I would like to share with you how Dream Journals came into being and why I do what I do. Because it is a big story and that deserves its own blog post.

I feel like you're missing out if you don't meet inspiring people in life. And I believe the world is full of beautiful people with a beautiful story, who want to be heard. Would you like to share a piece about yourself? I'm curious about your story. You can do that by writing a piece below the blog.
