About

​​​

I am a designer with a deep fascination for printed textiles, colour, and place. After graduating with an MA in Printed Textiles from the Royal College of Art, London, in 2009, I went on to create original and commercially successful designs for the homeware and lifestyle market.

​

Originally from the north west of England, my work is shaped by the landscapes of my upbringing and my current interests- the rhythm of walking, the textures of naturalistic gardens, and a lifelong interest in the design legacy of New Order. These threads of culture, pattern, and mood continue to influence how I think about design and its emotional resonance.

 

Now based in Shipley, West Yorkshire, I divide my time between freelance studio practice, an emerging teaching career, and family life, balancing creative work with raising my young family, including a toddler and a baby on the way. I’m currently developing PhD research, and alongside this, I’m passionate about working with young people to spark curiosity and awareness of textile design as a vital, expressive, and sustainable discipline.
