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. These days, I still do professional development, attend workshops and courses, and take masterclasses with experts - everything from sustainable building design, natural building, tiny houses, welding, woodwork and furniture-making, waterproofing and other trade skills. 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, consultation services, Bang! Club in-home projects, the Bang On newsletter, social media, your digital resources library, e-guides, webinars, and a blog.

​

I’d love to help empower, educate and expose you to the world of D-I-Y too.
