Aida Ihsani has made a name for herself as a self-taught carpenter and has been dedicated to holding carpentry workshops exclusively for women. She has passion for empowering others and has embarked on a path to provide women with the opportunity to learn carpentry skills and gain confidence in using power tools.

“I want other women to have hands-on experience using power tools so they can independently undertake DIY (do-it-yourself) or home improvements projects on their own, for themselves. I have already taught over 800 women from diverse backgrounds,” says Aida, 33.
