Stella Peg Carruthers is a Te Whanganui a Tara based Creative Practitioner who crafts imagination, conscious living, and storytelling into a gentle yet resourceful practice. She writes, she sews, she grows, and in the process engages with a lifelong curiosity grounded in the domestic world. Rooted in urban self-sufficiency and radical homemaking values, she treats the home as a site of transformation—where slow craft, mindful making, reflective practices and everyday rituals become quiet acts of change making. 

Holding a BA in Art History, a library diploma, and a Master of Writing focused on community change, Stella brings a rich blend of scholarship, craft, and grassroots action to her work. 

Curious, and deeply committed to conscious creativity and more mindful consumption, Stella lives her philosophy daily—and loves helping others explore sustainable ways of living through her words, her craft work and the relationships fostered both online and in real life. 

Stella’s work invites others into considered, low-waste creativity—honouring the planet, nurturing connections, and tending to the small gestures that ripple outward into meaningful impact.
