About me

I am a Textile designer specializing in Printed textiles with a passion for colour and pattern. I enjoy designing for fashion and interiors. My designs are inspired by details of the world around me. I believe that balance in a design is the key. My skill for drawing and painting in combination with digital skills and successful use of colour help to create bold, exciting and sophisticated designs. I am keen on exploring a variety of techniques and design methods. I have got attention to detail and a good eye for colour. I am keen on learning new skills and I embrace adventures. I am actively seeking a graduate role in the Design industry. Please feel free to contact me regarding any commissions or freelance design work.

  Treasure from JapanCollection “Treasure from Japan” consists of silk scarves designed for luxury fashion brands. It takes inspiration from Japanese porcelain and offers a contemporary interpretation of it. The collection captures the bold yet delicate style of porcelain paintings but sets it in a modern and personal context. The motifs and artworks of scarves are painted with ink to resemble the ceramic glaze. The colour palette is influenced by a range of colours seen on the porcelain glaze. Designs are digitally
