Heather is the creator behind Built in Pink, where she documents the journey of buying and renovating a house at auction with no prior building or DIY experience. Taking on as much of the work as possible herself, she proves that determination (and a little help from YouTube, TikTok, ChatGPT, and some advice from Mum and Granny) can go a long way.
Her mission is to inspire other women to pick up tools and take charge of projects traditionally assumed to be “men’s work.” Often underestimated in DIY stores, despite paint-splattered overalls, Heather challenges the stereotypes that women don’t belong in the renovation space. With humour, honesty, and determination, she’s building not just her dream home, but also a community that believes anything is achievable with enough drive and creativity.
