About me
Being from a small Island, I am drawn to the sea, and the great outdoors. I love to explore and find new things which inspire me. I try to take this adventure through all aspects of my life and work, and especially in my designing. I am interested in all kinds of design and look to anything to be a source of inspiration, aiming to grow and learn about the world around me through my work.
I love the creative process, producing articles with a specific aesthetic and purpose from an initial concept. I design womenswear with function; things which will last and be enjoyed. I work in an ethical way, supporting local where possible with and the highest quality materials which is very rewarding.
Please take a look at my website and feel free to get in touch, I would be happy to have a chat about all things creative and exciting new projects....

Projects
- The Road Leads EastMy Final Year university Collection began with the true tale of a remarkable two woman journey from Geneva to The Orient, documented by journalist and photographer, Annemarie Schwarzenbach in 1939 is the fascinating inspiration behind my Graduate Collection. Acting as a muse with her fearless and unique masculine style unseen from women of those times, and combined with dazling aspects of the eastern journey, this is a collection of tailored silks, billowing voiles, cow hide and embellished prints. Sandy tones, rich browns and pinks are highlighted through the Persian carpet used within the garments which has informed the colour palette and structure of the collection.
