Graduating from Manchester School of Art in 2021 with a BA (Hons) First Class Degree in Textiles in Practice, my current work is a continuation of my interest in the relationship between textiles and identity.

I am one of the 2024 recipients of the Clothworker’s Award, granting me a subsidised studio space at the Cockpits Studios, Deptford where I will continue to develop my practice.

As a designer, my aim is to create a space to appreciate lesser-known cultures by unravelling their threads of identity and history and transforming them into beautiful textiles.

Colour and pattern are integral to my work but used in a balanced way to create a sense of place. Experimenting with these combinations, I create collections of textiles that pay homage to my own identity yet have a commercial appeal that can be appreciated by all.
