About me

She finds inspiration in the natural world, architectural shapes and unusual textures, merging this influence with non- conventional materials and processes to craft intricate and innovative technical knits. She embraces sustainability as a core value, working with sustainable yarns and deadstock material to contribute to a more eco-conscious industry.

  DERMA‘Skin is not just a mere covering for the body, but a highly sensitive and protective interface between our inner selves and the outer world.’ DERMA explores the concept of skin, it’s texture and protective functions drawing inspiration from both human skin as a form of armour and the earth’s multi-layered skin including rock, sand and clay.
