About me
I am a Textile Designer/Maker for interior home-ware application. My experience has tailored me to varying aspects of textile design, and I can’t help my enjoyment of bringing designs to life. My technical focuses lye with the hand and print production processes, in particular; hand screen-printing, laser cut/etch and digital print. My favored applications include wallpapers, fabrics and hard surfaces, such as wood. I take particular care in the drawing stages of my work because this is how the initial inspiration gets translated through design, whether it be detailed pencil drawings or expressive mark making and textures.
