For years, my world was defined by service, travel, and the vibrant buzz of the hospitality industry. Armed with degrees in Hotel Management and Tourism, I, Sailee Samel, was on a clear professional track. I loved the energy of it, but secretly, a quieter, smaller passion was waiting in the wings: art.
Then came 2020. Like many others, I found myself facing the unexpected reality of job loss due to the global pandemic. It was a pivotal moment, a forced pause that became a radical turning point. I decided to stop waiting for "someday" and made the daunting, thrilling decision to convert my beloved hobby into my full-time career as a Miniature Artist. What truly ignited this fire? Food.
