E-FLI - Skydive Into The Digital Age!
Over the last five years, Holly has drawn on her knowledge of skydiving and her design skills to produce E-FLI, an award-winning online e-learning platform for skydivers.
E-FLI is now in use on a global scale and has recently won the prestigious E-Learning Age 2009 Award for Excellence in the Production of Learning Content (Private Sector).
E-FLI is the world’s first customisable e-learning platform for skydivers, first launched in 2006. Holly has spent the last 12 months working with a specialised team of software developers in Bristol, to build a cutting edge e-learning model which she recently launched at the PIA Symposium in Reno, Nevada, USA.
Budge, says: “E-FLI crafts a fresh dynamic between skydiving and the active learning curve. It is visually rich, complementary to existing training materials and approved by industry experts. I’m really excited about the future of E-FLI and how it can enhance skydiving tuition around the world.”
Holly is continually exploring new applications of technology in extreme sporting environments so athletes can meet personal challenges with respect, knowledge & understanding.
Spirit Midas - Life Inspired Jewellery
Spirit Midas artisans, Holly & Linda Budge create bold and independent handcrafted jewellery. We are a mother-daughter collaboration, sharing our passion for glass, metal & colour .
Inspired by adventure, culture and colour, we define our collections through the basic five elements of nature – Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Space, revealing their auras in sets of necklaces, lariats, pendants, earrings and bracelets.
These bold and unique collections embody a special magic and tell a story through the vibrant semi-precious gemstones, high quality metals, glass, crystal, shell and wood, all sourced directly.
Holly recently set up a glass bead studio in Lake Taupo, New Zealand where she creates vibrant beads and unique pieces of jewellery. Linda uses her silversmithing skills to complement Holly's glass beads with intricate silver designs & high-quality semi-precious gemstones from her workshop in the heart of Hampshire, UK.
