About Me

Hello! I'm a textile print designer & illustrator based in Berkshire, UK.

My passion for creating art started at a young age, growing up surrounded by countryside and animals has inspired my designs today. I studied Textile Design at Leeds University and completed my Masters in Textile Innovation and Branding. Leading me to work in fashion as a print and graphic designer with ready-to-wear brands, high street retailers and suppliers. Primarily in small businesses and start-ups. With experience in creating artwork for womenswear,  childrenswear and for home & stationery products. 

​

Naturally, I'm drawn to bright florals, textures and slightly abstracted styles. With a love for English country home textiles, painterly fashion prints and colourful packaging & stationery. 

​

Currently, I work in my home studio on a range of creative projects and commissions from fashion prints to children's books, wedding stationery, illustration and my own seasonal print collections. 

Design Process

I start each new project or collection with trend research and mood boards. Whether it be for a fashion print, a pattern for homeware or an illustration. I love this part of the design process, creating styles, colour palettes and themes.

​

Initial ideas are developed from these boards and I use a collection of reference books, my own photographs and saved imagery both digital and printed material to sketch and plan artwork. My studio walls are covered in inspiration and I keep my favourite pieces pinned to vision boards.

​

Prints and illustrations all start life as a sketch or painting using a range of mediums to achieve their desired look. Some favourites to use are watercolours, gouache, oil pastels and charcoal. Designs are then finalised digitally.
