Sonnaz Nooranvary (House of Sonnaz, upholsterer)
Both Sonnaz Nooranvary and her parents expected her to have a white-collar career, but she discovered a passion for upholstery and never looked back.
Sonnaz Nooranvary thought she鈥檇 have to be a doctor or a lawyer to please her parents but struggled academically thanks to a combination of dyslexia and ADHD. Everything changed when she spotted an advert for an upholstery apprenticeship. She dropped out of college to build yachts from scratch. The upholsterer talks to Evan Davis about how she went against her family鈥檚 expectations to follow her instincts.
