Textile Design

I am continually inspired by fashion and the ever-changing mood of the market. Designing textiles for the furnishing fabric industry allows the freedom to experiment in every way. My approach to commercial design is individual. Concepts are prepared using fabrics I have hand dyed, embroidered and appliquéd, with the finished pieces showing form, colour, texture and technique all working in unison.
