About me

I am a freelance surface pattern designer with experience designing for high street brands. I am passionate about colour and print; creating artwork both by hand and digitally. With a commercial eye and a varied handwriting, I am able to translate trends into designs which are relevant for the high street. I am driven by creating work which people will enjoy wearing or having in their homes.
