My specialism is in surface pattern and textile design, principally using traditional and abstract patterns and motifs, in both conventional and contemporary contexts.
I like my work to be part of telling a story. It could be celebrating something long forgotten, exploring a theme or idea, or a reclamation of the narrative from those who have hijacked or imposed their own upon others. My work is about nature, heritage, culture and conversation, and I strongly believe in the power of learning and education.
WHAT I DO
I work with patterns, prints, paintings, on paper and fabric, and other surfaces too. I mainly work by hand, using pencil, paper and colour to come up with initial sketches to develop into designs.
I can conceptualise and design the surface pattern for one off bespoke products, as well as seasonal collections. Traditional yet on trend, and with a unique and faithful flavour. A lot of my inspiration comes from nature and architecture, from the smallest wildflower to the grandest edifice, and I love to work with colour and texture..
I am open to collaborations with fashion and interior designers for custom collections and product development
