Ventures
Two very different businesses. Both built with purpose.
Lara’s work has taken her into very different spaces over the years, from community services, disability and advocacy to business and creative ventures.
Today, that experience continues through two businesses that reflect very different sides of her world.

Rise Again Collective
Visit Rise Again CollectiveNo One Rises Alone.
Rise Again Collective supports people navigating disability, the NDIS, private and complex support, and situations where knowing what to do next isn’t always straightforward.
Built on years of experience in support and advocacy, RAC focuses on practical guidance, genuine care and making sure the person behind the paperwork is never lost in the process. -
Sakura Lab-Grown Diamonds
Visit Sakura Lab DiamondsJewellery made for moments that mean something.
Sakura Lab Diamonds comes from a completely different side of Lara’s world.
Inspired by the beauty of cherry blossoms, Sakura offers lab-grown diamonds, Sakura Pink gemstones, ready-to-wear jewellery and custom pieces designed to celebrate the moments people want to remember. The current LP jewellery page already uses that cherry-blossom inspiration and focus on lab-created diamonds, so I’d retain that connection rather than rewriting the brand from scratch.
Different worlds. Same approach.
Rise Again Collective and Sakura may look very different on the surface, but both have grown from things Lara genuinely cares about: people, meaningful experiences and creating something that has a purpose beyond the business itself.
