About me

I am a Leeds College of Art Surface Pattern Design graduate of 2017. Experimenting with drawing, colour and composition strongly underpin the work I create. I take influences from nature and enjoy the playful organic forms that can be interpreted from such imagery. I like to play with elements of detail, texture, block colour and design styles to appeal to a range of markets. I work with a variety of hand and digital processes to create playful variation throughout collections from detailed digital prints to textural, tactile screen prints. I also enjoy working towards trends and consider future predictions throughout the work I create in order to appeal to a commercial market.
