Hello!  I am a freelance pattern designer and illustrator living in Nottingham, England. I am represented by the Bright Agency.

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 womenswear 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, Djeco, Priddy Books, Dashwood Studio, The Foggy Dog, Little Sleepies, Asda, and Sainsbury’s. My designs have been featured on children’s clothing, shoes and accessories, pet products, craft fabrics, greetings cards and gift wrap, and children’s books, 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!
