I am an Edinburgh based designer specialising in printed and dyed textiles. With a focus on hand drawn and collaged design, my work captures details found in my surroundings. I produce small batches of silk scarves with original print designs which are digitally printed and sewn locally.
During my undergraduate studies at the Glasgow School of Art, I had the opportunity to travel to Kyoto to learn traditional Japanese textile techniques including katazome, a resist-dyeing method. The Japanese approach to craft is an ongoing influence and source of inspiration for my work. In spring 2024, I returned to Japan to refine my technique with tuition from Takayuki Ishii, a master indigo dyer and craftsperson.
I am currently working to develop a new collection of naturally dyed katazome textiles.
