Teja Lele changed twelve schools in as many years, and credits her adaptability to her army brat upbringing. Inspired by The Fountainhead, she trained as an architect but soon realized her building blocks were words and sentences, not bricks and stones. An editor for twenty years, she has been DIYing ever since she discovered the joy of making-over and upcycling. She loves to read, watch crime on the telly, and believes the best stories are found between the pages of a passport.
