Graduate from Hereford College of Arts with a BA(Hons) in Textile Design. My main specialisms are knitted textiles and Colour, Material and Finish. I take a bold experimental approach to these areas to produce materials for Surface Design, Fashion and Interiors. I am keen to develop new and exciting materials that haven't been explored before.

- SURFACING AEROSPACEWith commercial space flights soon to become a reality with Virgin Galactic and SpaceX in testing stages.

Applying knitted textiles to create surfaces suitable for a commercial spacecraft, whilst enhancing the feeling of weightlessness.
