About me

Currently looking for a remote/hybrid creative role. I have a background in commercial interior design and over the past few years have taken a different direction and specialised in creating original print designs for textiles and surfaces in the apparel and home decor markets, using a wide variety of techniques including illustration by hand and CAD programs.

Projects

• Conversational Print for Steamline LuggageA melange of digitally drawn puffins, oranges and horse bits were combined to create this fun and whimsical print for the lining of a variety of suitcases.
• Coral Garden Print DesignThe design elements were inspired by the forms and shapes of coral gardens. They were first hand drawn on Procreate, then taken into Photoshop to create a seamless repeat pattern.
• Painted diagonal stripe design for DHaRCOThis print was made by painting diagonal lines, then taken into photoshop to create a seamless repeat pattern. The design was used for the 2022 Commencal Muc Off World Cup Downhill Mountain bike Team in 4 different colourways.
