ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm a freelance textile designer mostly inspired by nature, architecture, 90s culture & film photography. My main passion is painting tropical scenes & animals, and I sell prints as well as my original paintings.
I studied a Foundation Diploma in Textiles at Central Saint Martins and then went on to study a degree in Fashion & Textiles at Southampton University, specialising in Printed Textiles. This is where I really fell in love with painting and illustration, so I like to produce all of my work by hand first, even if they are then transferred to photoshop or illustrator to be produced digitally.
Since graduating in 2015 I have worked in London for luxury womenswear fashion brands Roberta Einer, Holly Fulton & Tramp In Disguise, accessories brand Sara Sboul, as well as freelancing and selling my own design work in the form of paintings and prints.
I currently live and work in Australia as a freelance textile designer and artist, I am happy to work on any projects whether it is for textile/graphic designs, or commissions for one off paintings, and am always excited to hear your feedback & suggestions.
