About Me

I am an independent surface pattern designer based in Hackney, London.  I create patterns inspired by the natural world, collections of objects and vintage patterns. 

I draw in ink, pencil and coloured pencil, then digitally manipulate the hand-drawn images to transform them into repeat patterns.

My design inspiration comes from two main sources: the natural world and collections of decorative objects.

I want my designs to make you feel immersed in nature, vibrancy and colour. I love to focus on humble creatures and plants, the less celebrated and obvious but worthy of celebrating: the bramble, the magpie, the rowan

Designs inspired by objects come from my own collections and things that have been passed to me down the generations and somehow survived. I have been collecting and curating since childhood and love to create trompe l’oeil effects so that my objects can appear on your wall.

From amulets and old keys to baroque mirrors and mid-century swallow ornaments, my style is opulent and maximalist, always colourful and luxurious.
