I have 25 years experience working with design companies across the UK where my artwork has been

used on giftware, stationery, melamine products, textiles, toys & accessories, and distributed worldwide.

In the UK, my products have been sold in John Lewis, Harrods, Libertys of London, Marks & Spencers, Mothercare, Crabtree & Evelyn and H.Samuel as well as smaller retailers nationwide.

I started off working in-house, designing Christmas decorations & gifts for Gisela Graham Ltd, for 4 years (2003-2006), and previously children's gifts for Cowley Designs (now called Floss & Rock) 1999-2002.

I then spent 6 years working with a textile agent LJWoodhouse Designs, where I developed a passion for repeat patterns, and went on to take a course in Surface Pattern design from the US, by Sarah Watts of Ruby Star Society/Moda Fabrics (https://www.sarahwatts.com) where I brushed up on my digital skills in Photoshop, creating my artwork into print-ready repeat pattern files. I then went on to became a mentor for Sarah's 2024 'From Paint to Pattern' course, where I helped to train hundreds of students in the field.

​

In 2022-23 I illustrated the Guide Dogs Association's Christmas design, for their Christmas card and confectionery packaging and also designed the artwork for Bath Christmas Market map, media & signage.

In 2024 I have had the pleasure of partnering with Lesser & Pavey Ltd, designing for giftware across the seasons, which has been really fun - and rewarding to see my work on so much gift product!​

​

I am also aspiring to design for the fabric market too; for the quilting & sewing industry - watch this space!
