Designing collections and products for the design industry requires bold, visionary, innovative and creative design sensibilities.

My unique approach bridges these design sensibilities with commercial expertise. An evolution from my fashion and textiles background and breadth of international experience in both large scale global companies and smaller bespoke organisations over the past 16years.

I have a strong ability to streamline processes for high quality outcomes, especially within fast paced design studio environments. I am experienced with every stage of the design process and enjoy collaborating with clients, liaising with suppliers and leading creative and productive teams.

I am a courageous, hands-on leader who strives for continuous growth for myself and my team members. I’m known for my positive influence and ability to empower others through my authentic and generous nature. I lead by example, push boundaries and build collaborative high performing teams, where their strengths are bought to the forefront.

My proudest moments come from guiding, connecting and inspiring change to achieve amazing results and impactful solutions collectively. Supporting my team to confidently execute shared strategies and create products that offer an impactful experience for every journey, is why I do what I do.

My core revolves around the experimentation and discovery of harmonious relationships between colours, textures and forms within spacial environments. These then contribute to the positive impact products can have on their users. I desire to challenge the usual and offer new sensorial experiences through innovative product design and collaborative team work.

I create volumes and forms that harmonise with the movements and sensations of the body, how what is their impact within different surroundings creating of interactive spaces. Experimenting with notions of space, texture and the contrast between contructivity and fluidity. A play between 2-D and 3-D, taking design ideas and silhouettes into new realms with the use of colour, texture and motif. Architectural forms, graphic shapes, lines, colours, space and light. I desire to challenge and offer a new sensorial experience with fabric treatments, pattern and forms.
