As a freelance printed textile and surface pattern designer I enjoy engaging in all aspects of print design, particularly print for fashion. I am currently designing for global design studios whilst completing personal freelance projects on the side. I have interned & designed for companies such as Etch Studios London, Finisterre, Joules and Frugi.
I am currently based in Devon, UK and am forever finding inspiration in the soft landscapes and beautiful flora and fauna that surrounds me. With my love of all things floral and organic I spend my time drawing from and within nature. Colour has a huge influence on my work and I vary between soft and vibrant colour pallets. I love to experiment with new processes but find myself returning to hand painted and drawn techniques.
