Born in London and raised in the Lancashire seaside town of Cleveleys, near Blackpool, my love for design began as a young child. Surrounded by 1970's patterns and my Father's art books, I began to draw and paint from a young age. This eventually led to a degree in Fine Art from Oxford University where I specialised in painting. 

After years spent both painting and working in-house as a designer, I took a break to have my three children. During this time, my love for patterns came to the fore once more and I began to create illustrations and surface patterns.

My work is inspired by childhood memories, travels as a young girl, fairies, dreams, and wonderful, quirky England. All of my designs are named after places, mostly in Britain, and many are places that hold special memories from my childhood.
