I have a design background, spending the first half of my career as a womenswear designer across a variety of market levels, working in the UK, as a freelancer in Paris, and latterly for a design house in Munich, specialising in evening wear.
Following an MA in Sustainable Design, my interest has shifted to exploring how fashion and related industries can adjust to and meet the challenges presented by sustainable & ethical practice.
A further, connected area of exploration and application arising from the MA is the connection between engagement with nature, especially the power of plants, to maintain psychological wellbeing.
My research takes a hands-on approach to exploring the sustainable and waste-avoidance possibilities of hand and digital printing on textiles, taking natural forms and plant life as inspirational subject matter.
