I start by drawing, doodling & mark making then design my patterns digitally. I experiment with colour combinations from my travel photos and research images. Once I'm happy with a design I'll work with my suppliers to create the finished products. The fabric quality & finish of my products are really important so I various development make samples until I'm happy with the result.

All of my products are produced in the UK to keep my carbon footprint low. I work closely with my suppliers along each phase of the production process & use organic fabrics for my tea towels, oven gloves & napkins. All my packaging is made from re-cycled Kraft card.

I'm always looking for inspiration!. I love to travel & look at packaging, architecture & unexpected colour combinations in a cafe or store. There's also an element of nostalgia to my designs, I also draw inspiration from colour & pattern from my 1970's childhood.

Most of my designs are named after places in Portugal a country I've spent many years travelling in. I start with the pattern and colour combinations then comes the names which evoke memories of trips, meals and time spent with friends.

I love experimenting with colour & texture and mixing patterns together for added visual interest. I enjoy combining colourful ceramics with my patterns & coloured or textured glassware to create a playful and eclectic look.
