Sacha

Founder

Sacha is our bubbly jet-setter, whose brain is constantly flowing with creative ideas. Coming from North London, Sacha knew what she wanted to do from a very young age. She moved to New Zealand to train to be a pilot and has been working for EasyJet ever since, spending her time off skiing in the French Alps – which is where she and Billy met. After periods of travelling together and spending time long distance, Sacha joined Billy in their move to Bali. During the pandemic, Sacha’s pilot work was lessening, and in an effort to keep busy and lend a hand, Sacha joined the Starfish team. She assisted in writing product descriptions and informative blog posts, engaging with the sensory education community. Her knowledge, can-do attitude and creative mind are a major piece in the Star & Co team. When she’s not cooking up new ideas, you can find Sacha diving or cooking up a delicious meal for friends. 

What triggers your anxiety?

I’ve always had a fear of disappointing people, or letting them down by not giving them my full attention. I can easily leave a situation or conversation feeling anxious that I’ve done or said something wrong, and that someone won’t like me anymore. It’s almost always completely irrational, something I’m trying to continually remind myself of. You cannot always give everyone 100%, it’s too exhausting, and you are left with nothing for yourself and those closest to you.

What is your go-to Star & Co piece?

I have really small hands, so naturally the India ring is a great fit for me. I also love how many different ways there are to use it. Sometimes I find myself flicking it (the vibration is addictive!), other times I love the way the skin on your thumb gets trapped under the ball when you roll it slowly - hard to describe, but you’ll know what I mean if you use it!
