After meeting my husband, I travelled and lived overseas while raising a family. On returning to London, I set up a market stall at Greenwich selling clothes, bags and keepsakes I made with vintage fabrics. We now live in Windsor, my home town, with our much loved dog.

Trained in garden design and professional sewing, I find inspiration in nature, art, gardens and textiles. Browsing vintage shops is a favourite pastime, finding time-worn treasures with stories to tell .

I’m at my happiest sketching new ideas and transforming them into art for every day use. My interest in garden history and plant collectors has informed the Herbarium Collection where hand-drawn designs and a desaturated palette create a sun-touched, timeless feel.

Huge thanks to Bonnie Christine for her brilliant Immersion course and exemplary skills in pattern design; and to her team for all their encouragement and support.
