Specialising in woven textiles, the process of transforming yarn into cloth has always seemed logical, I have developed a hybrid attitude to textile design and gained knowledge of print, knit and digital stitch alongside weave.

I consciously employ both traditional and innovative techniques with a consistent tactile quality running through my work. Texture is always on the forefront of my visual train.

Unusual techniques reflect this and provide a sensory experience for the end product. I focus on producing bespoke one-off's for fashion, but am able to adapt to design for a commercial market.
