I'm a London-based designer and maker, passionate about traditional crafts, upcycling, and clothing restoration. Guided by sustainability and a love for tactile materials, I bring a creative and resourceful approach to everything I make.

With a background in Textile Design and Material Futures, I’ve developed a strong connection to the stories behind materials — where they come from, how they’re used, and where they might end up. This perspective inspires me to work with waste or discarded materials, reimagining them into pieces that are more considered and valuable.

I specialise in intricate hand embroidery and take pride in my meticulous attention to detail. At the heart of my practice is a desire to create work that’s thoughtful, high-quality, and rooted in circular design principles. Whether it’s through slow craft, research, or small-scale experimentation, I’m always exploring how my designs can make a positive impact, even if on a tiny scale for now.
