In 2016, Bee returned to her first love: acting. As a young adult she appeared in numerous plays and toured internationally (the Nordics, Russia, Australia) with a Danish youth music-theatre company called Ragna Rock.

Alongside her wider creative work she has over the past nine years worked as a supporting artist, stand-in and double. No longer content to blend into the background, Bee has since signed with an agent and is now regularly found filming self-tape auditions in her living room. A dedicated acting reel is currently in production.

Occasionally, commercial work emerges, allowing Bee to enjoy being dolled up, pampered, photographed and heavily edited.

In 2008, when Birgitte couldn’t find a safe, practical way to shade her baby in the pram, she designed the SunSnoozer – and in doing so launched herself as an entrepreneur. With support from the British Library’s Business & IP Centre, her kitchen-table idea grew into a limited company; BabyBeamers. The SunSnoozer was featured in the Innovations section at the Olympia baby trade show, stocked nationwide by JoJo Maman Bébé, appeared on BBC2’s Britain’s Next Big Thing, and earned all five-star reviews from parents on Amazon.
