ABOUT

I am a textile designer creating luxurious, tactile and unique accessories and homewares by hand in my studio in Margate, Kent. It is my aim to combine natural ethical yarns and sustainable techniques with a modern aesthetic, carefully crafted to compliment contemporary living.

With a commitment to quality, value, sustainability and zero waste, each unique design is individually crafted to stand the test of time. Using carefully selected 100% natural yarns I use hand-powered vintage knitting machinery to create each piece, before it is hand-sewn, hand-washed and hand-finished with care.

My work is designed and crafted to be characterful, luxuriously soft and tactile, providing a timeless, long-lasting quality, with meticulous attention to detail, a strong sense of design and a colour palette inspired by the natural and organic forms of the Kent coastline where I live.

Following a Knitwear Degree at Nottingham Trent, I set up my own business soon after graduating and gained invaluable experience, knowledge and expertise over the next twenty years designing and creating women's luxury knitwear and accessories in my Clerkenwell studio. I have sold my designs through select boutiques whilst also providing a highly successful commission service to my many customers, selling my work throughout North America, Europe and Japan.

Ten years ago I relocated from London to the Kent coast, where the incredible natural light, raw coastal textures and ever-changing sky and seascape provide a rich source of inspiration for my creative practice. This visually rich environment has been the catalyst to experiment, explore and create a wide range of knitted textiles inspired by nature.
