Melanie Freywald, born in Berlin, Germany, moved to the UK in 1998. After starting an office job in London, she quickly realised it wasn’t for her and needed something more hands-on. In 2002, Mel became a #Painter and #Decorator and now runs a successful business called Colour and Paper. “When I was trying to figure out what to do next, I painted my flat, then family and friends’ homes, and they said how good I was. Now I can’t see myself doing anything else; I’ve been doing this for 23 years,” says Mel. She learned her skills early as a teenager from her parents, spending most summers helping them paint and decorate their family home. In 2023, Melanie applied and became an #ExoActive product tester for Festool, where she tried and tested the active #exoskeleton for six months on different jobs. The previous year, she suffered many injuries that caused her to lose a lot of jobs, so she was looking for a solution to help her get back on her feet. Her first ‘Exo Moment’ was at the Festool UK training centre. “You have certain expectations, but I didn’t think it would work that well; it was mind-blowing.” Taking it back home and putting it through its paces, that’s when the real test started. “Using it on very large ceilings and overhead work, it was such a game changer."
