I love the physical process of creating - how exceptional design elevates the experience of living. My fascination has always been the way aesthetics and materiality shape our emotional landscape: how we respond not just to what we see, but to what we touch, what surrounds us.

After qualifying with a degree in Product Design, I specialized in Colour and Material Design - drawn to the elements that give objects their emotional resonance.

I spent 25 years developing creative expertise with major luxury brands, including 15 years consulting in-house on exterior paint and colour palettes for Jaguar Land Rover and, most recently, McLaren.

When I became a mother in 2020, everything shifted. I wanted the flexibility to be present for my son during his formative years - and to redirect my expertise toward work that creates emotional response in a more expressive, artistic way.

I returned to fine art when Monty was twelve months old. The path wasn't yet clear, but I had inherited my mother's sewing machine and began experimenting with textiles I'd collected over the years. My mother has worked as a seamstress for over four decades - always late into the night when we were young.

The sound of her machine would lull me to sleep. When I pressed that pedal myself, time folded, and working with textiles felt like coming home. Now I too work through the night while Monty sleeps, hoping he'll one day recall with the same fondness the memories my practice leaves with him.
