My journey into surface design began during my time in Sweden, where I discovered RICE – a Danish homewares company whose colourful, joyful creations sparked something inside me. Their work inspired me to pursue my own path as a surface designer, bringing patterns to life.

My style combines whimsy, vibrant colours, and a touch of playfulness that makes people smile. Creating beautiful designs brings me such genuine joy, and I love knowing that this happiness extends to the people who welcome my patterns into their homes and lives.

I'm an illustrator, an artist, and a surface designer

As Seen In

I love bringing both technical skills and creative flair to every project I work on. I'm right at home in Adobe Illustrator, where I turn ideas into polished designs that are ready to go.

Creating collections and repeat patterns is where I really shine – I love telling visual stories that work beautifully across everything from fabric to stationery to home goods.
