  • About Me

    Hi, I'm Sam! Head Banger at She Bangs ToolSchool & Home Handy Services :)

    I started She Bangs out of necessity because I couldn't wait around for someone else to get things done - whether I was waiting on was a busy tradesman or a bloke who said he'd give me a hand. When I looked around, I saw a lot of other women keen to D-I-Y too, but they lacked confidence. It was then I decided to help empower us all by sharing know-how and skills I learnt along the way.

    So I launched a community of women to D-I-Y, together! It's come a long way since 2020.

    I didn't grow up 'handy', so to develop my own skills and knowledge, I self-taught, renovate properties, do community builds and volunteer. I went back to TAFE to get a Certificate IV in Building & Construction and also gained a Cert II in Carpentry. I still attend workshops and courses, take masterclasses with experts - everything from sustainable building design, natural building, tiny houses, welding, woodwork, waterproofing and other trades. I apply that learning to my projects, and with clients. Between my innovative Do-It-Together! approach and the She Bangs ToolSchool, I share what I know through hosted workshops and webinars, DIT! Club in-home projects, the Bang On! newsletter, social media, your digital resources library, e-guides, webinars, and a blog over at ToolSchool.

    In 2025, I was awarded the Margaret Hickey Award, presented by Bowens, celebrating female trailblazers who are reshaping the building industry through leadership, resilience, and innovation.
