I am a textiles designer, artist and teacher, inspired by collaboration, experimentation and the fusion of craft skills and new technology.
I recently graduated with distinction from the MA in Design for Textile Futures at Central Saint Martins College, London and specialise in creating image-based Jacquard weavings for exhibitions, interiors and public space. I also and work in community arts in and around London.
What's new?
I have launched my range of ground breaking light reactive woven textiles for interiors
These fabrics are white until they are exposed to sunlight, when colour and pattern is magically revealed. The sunlight also charges the textile, so it glows in the dark.
I have created a range of products for interiors, including backdrops, cushions and upholstry fabrics that constantly respond to the natural environment, interacting with the changing light of the days and seasons.
