About the Author

Jaharn Quinn is an upcycler, maker and photographer. Born in Sydney and raised in Brisbane, her obsession for upcycling has been a lifelong love affair. She began her professional career in fashion public relations and ran a highly successful online vintage store where she would refashion and resell second-hand clothing, filling her home with upcycled furniture as well.

After living and working in London and Sydney, Jaharn now lives in Noosa, Australia where she built her forever home with her husband, Jason, and welcomed two children, Dusty and Celeste. Jaharn leaned on her years of experience and continued upcycling second-hand pieces for their new home. Encouraged by her family and friends, she started her website Smor Home to share her love of upcycling and DIY, and it quickly became home to millions of loyal readers, with thousands of people recreating her projects and many going viral on Instagram and TikTok.
