Get to know me

That’s me, smiling over-enthusiastically! I am 100% a city girl, and no matter how hard I try I can’t keep a plant alive I’ve not killed any houseplants in ages! Here’s a bunch of other random facts about me.

– My names Ahmani, but literally everyone I know (including my parents) calls me Marni or some other nickname (some of them are a bit odd, maybe if I meet you I’ll tell you a few).

– I’m actually a Londoner. I was born and raised in Camden Town, but I currently live in Manchester in a little house in Urmston with my lovely flatmate. 

– I’m a secret romantic, but not in a cheesy rom-com kind of way, I just really like stories about quirky people falling in love.

– I’m obsessed with prints. Stripes, spots, florals, crazy patterns, love them all! My wardrobe is a colourful mismatched collection of prints.

– I studied photography at uni, where I spent three years in the darkroom becoming increasingly paler! It also pushed me creatively and I doubt I would have been passionate enough about photography to turn it into a profession if I hadn’t gone.

– I’m slightly obsessed with the Barbican Centre, particularly the conservatory, it’s like an awesome urban jungle, and I’m a massive plant lover. If you haven’t been yet, go! 

– I’m a big bookworm, I can spend days getting lost in a book. Reading is my happy place. One of my life goals is to one day have a library room. 

– When I’m not working you can find me binge-watching series on Netflix (my taste ranges from gritty documentaries to cheesy sitcoms!), getting into a new sci-fi/fantasy book series, listening to comical podcasts (Scam Goddess and No Such Thing as a Fish are my faves) or getting crafty with my friends. We even started a community lead, feminist craft club called Craft Punk.
