About -
I am a recent graduate at Plymouth College of Art, who studied Printed Textiles and Surface pattern.
I am creatively minded, with a love for everything craft. I love to draw, and my favourite medium is Biro pen.
I have found a new love in the digital side of things, and love my tablet which I use to draw on and edit pieces of work
I have an enthusiasm to learn and develop new skills in new environments.
My hobbies include Gig Rowing, locally in the Tamar River, I compete both competitively and socially.
I have two Spaniels and two cats, which supply me with endless inspiration and entertainment.
My ultimate goal is to become qualified and experienced in the design industry, with the longer- term ambition to develop my own design label.

Recently, during my time in lockdown, I have had the privilege to take on an up-cycling project for one of my rowing friends. She asked if I could make a bean -bag chair from some old Roman blinds.
I really enjoyed this project; it wasn't all plain sailing, with help from an engineer to produce the measurements and ratios of the pattern for the chair. From there I was able to make a lining of which I filled with small beans and a removable outer made from the beautiful red and cream blinds.
I will be able to make more on demand; with fabric of your choice... Get in touch with either my social media platforms or email preferably.
