About me
As a designer I focus on creating luxury handcrafted homeware specialising in bespoke minimalist textile pieces. These have included hard surfaces, screen-printed fabrics/wallpaper, tufted rugs and machine embroidered fabrics. My focus within design is to make each piece unique with its hand creation.

My colour palettes are neutral and muted to complement the modern home and fit with the aesthetic seamlessly. My overall appearance is that of class and expense whilst adding a tactile feel and pattern to the interior textile market.
