I’m a creative designer, artist and printmaker with a love for colour, pattern, texture and all things hands-on.

My creative journey began at school, where I naturally gravitated towards subjects like Fine Art, Photography and Textiles. At college, I explored a little bit of everything, from ceramics and photography to working in the darkroom, but it was in the print room that I really found my place. I fell in love with the process of screen printing, lino cutting and gelli plate printing, drawn to the textures, imperfections and unexpected results that come from working by hand.

 

Along the way, I discovered graphic design and became fascinated by the way design can bring ideas and stories to life. I went on to study BA (Hons) Graphic Design with Typography at the University of Plymouth, where I developed my love for editorial design, typography and visual storytelling. I’ve always enjoyed combining thoughtful design with a sense of playfulness, colour and personality.

 

After graduating, I found myself missing the print room and the process of making things by hand. I discovered Double Elephant Print Workshop in Exeter, booked onto a course, and quickly knew I had found my creative space again. I’m now a member and spend my Wednesdays experimenting with screen printing, mono-screen printing and other traditional techniques, creating colourful prints, greeting cards and more, which I also sell at local markets.

 

I believe that creativity should bring a little more joy into everyday life. Whether I’m designing for a brief or creating a print for someone’s home, I love making work that feels colourful, positive and full of personality. I’m particularly interested in the relationship between design and interiors, and the idea that the objects and spaces around us can make everyday life feel a little happier.

 

I’m always experimenting, learning and looking for the next creative adventure. If you have a project, idea or design brief you’d like to chat about, I’d love to hear from you.
