The current focus of my practice is researching and designing with natural dyes from tree waste with a view to exploring new colour avenues for a circular textile industry.

I have a textile design background which includes an MA from Central Saint Martins. Over the years I have developed a specialism in the art of marbling, pushing the boundaries & breaking the rules of this traditional craft. Following

my MA I founded my own business selling product ranges & designing marbled mono-prints for fashion, retail, haute-couture and interior markets. With over 20 years of experience, I have built a wide ranging client list including Hermès Paris, Stella McCartney, Deborah Milner, Aveda, Liberty, Zoffany, Avenida, V&A, Hauser & Wirth and Gainsborough Silk Weavers.

Running concurrently with my print practice I co-founded ao textiles in 2006, a textile design consultancy developing colour for circular textile production in the 21st century.
