Hello!  I am a freelance pattern designer and illustrator living in Nottingham, England.

After graduating in 1999 with a first class degree in textile design I spent two amazing years at a print design studio in New York City, creating hand painted graphics and patterns for ladieswear and kidswear.  Since returning to my home town I worked as an in-house print designer for a major childrenswear retailer until going freelance in 2012. Clients include Glick, Dashwood Studio, The Influencer Initiative, Little Sleepies, Sand + Fog, Asda, and Sainsbury’s. My designs have been featured on children’s clothing, shoes and accessories, craft fabrics, greetings cards and gift wrap, and children’s toys and games.

I use bold and bright colours to create whimsical worlds full of smiling flowers, cute fruit, and all kinds of awesome animals. I hope the love I put into my art shines through, my aim is to raise a smile and spread joy through the work I create. I have been obsessed with patterns since I was a girl, and I enjoy the mathematical precision involved in creating technical repeats. Seeing my pattern designs come to life on fabric has been a dream come true!
