About
I am a surface print designer, dedicated to fostering a vibrant world through my work. Inspired by the dynamic clashes of colour and pattern found in everyday surroundings, I take a playful and intuitive approach to design—exploring colour and composition through mixed media collage, screen printing, and digital processes. I follow a human-centred design ethos, grounded in the belief that colour and pattern can enrich our lives and offer a joyful escape from everyday stress—something I strive to weave into every aspect of my practice.Guided by the principles of colour theory and informed by emerging design trends, I create bold and upbeat colourways that inject moments of joy into the spaces people live and move through.By blending traditional techniques such as screen printing with a strong foundation in digital design, my work achieves a balance between hand-crafted authenticity and modern precision. My signature style is a fusion of kaleidoscopic colour, geometric form, and abstract composition—resulting in energetic and adaptable prints suited to a range of markets, from commercial interiors and large-scale murals to giftware and greetings.
Employing a human-centred approach to design, the Colourscape collection offers a vibrant escape from daily stresses—inviting viewers to pause and immerse themselves in a world of kaleidoscopic colour and geometric abstraction. Guided by the principles of colour theory, Colourscape embraces upbeat and unexpected colour pairings to create strong visual impact and forge emotional connections. Inspired by the diverse architectural landscape of Leeds—from Brutalism to Bauhaus—this collection explores shape and colour in a playful and intuitive way. Colourscape presents a range of invigorating design outcomes; from mix-and-match wallpaper that offers customers creative freedom, to both screen-printed and digitally printed fabrics for soft furnishings, as well as wood relief panels and placement prints for public interiors and exterior spaces.
