I'm a designer-maker who aims to emphasize the versatility of craft processes, particularly in textile construction and its tools. Multiple methods are explored and combined to create new structures, and equipment is often created or adapted to realize my ideas.
Although my background is in weaving, my designs encompass an array of techniques including knitting and crochet, as well as other off-loom techniques. Having worked collaboratively on projects in product design, healthcare and wearable art, I enjoy pushing the boundaries of textiles and their applications.
