About

I am a mixed-media textiles designer with a passion for colour and the art of blending print and stitch techniques. I thrive on exploring innovative ways to combine these elements while ensuring my collections remain cohesive. My work often draws inspiration from the natural world. I also make the most of every trip I take, using them as an opportunity to capture key elements that help evoke a sense of place in my textiles work. This approach also allows me to incorporate architectural influences that feature prominently throughout my collections. Allowing me to incorporate my drawing skills and create art with a realistic, textured style.Madeira thread sponsored student

My specialist professional project is inspired by my travels to Greece and Portugal, where the vibrant cultures, landscapes, and architecture left a lasting impression. Drawing from the colours, textures, and architectural elements of these countries, my work explores the rich diversity of their visual identities. The project features a carefully curated lookbook, which highlights the fusion of traditional and contemporary design techniques. I have created sample pieces using the following techniques: CAD embroidery, digital printing, devore printing and quilting. The photographs capture the essence of my textiles, showcasing how these influences are translated into patterns. From the sun-drenched coastlines of Greece, to the colourful tiles and ornate details of Portugal, my collection celebrates the beauty of both natural and man-made environments, bringing together European history and modern textiles.
