illustration / surface design

I am an illustrator and surface pattern designer specialising in original, hand painted patterns. With an industry level understanding of preparing patterns for printing, working in repeat and following trends. I deliberately develop work across different visual languages while maintaining a strong understanding of pattern. Working with homeware and fashion brands I understand what works and what doesn’t. My experience at a print studio in Sweden allowed me to see all my designs come to life on silk, something that also expanded the way I work and think about the tangible product when designing on a screen.

My final year at Camberwell is being spent exploring handmade and traditional methods of textile design, with the outcome of experimenting with building spaces and mixing patterns.

I paint physically because I value the imperfections and spontaneity that comes from working by hand. Especially with my pattern designing, I really value organic textures. I am inspired by nature: the textures, compositions and, most of all, colours.

I am interested in developing patterns for fashion, interiors and lifestyle products. With upcoming wrapping paper, wallpaper and interiors projects this year.
