I have recently graduated from the Royal College of Art, studying an MA in Textile Design. My background in fine art led me to explore the convergence of fine and applied art. 6 months as a studio assistant for designer Neisha Crosland inspired me to focus on textile design.

The multi disciplinary nature of my work means that I am open to many opportunities and makes me very adaptable.
