Today, with over twenty-five years’ experience in the world of textiles, it is satisfying to know that I am acknowledged and respected world-wide as an inspirational and successfully established Textile Consultant and expert in my field.
I am as motivated today as at the outset of my career and have the curiosity to combine traditional and modern approaches, bringing a new take on the old to the textile industry. My motivation is to inspire and empower others through the passion, experience and skills I possess, in an understanding, approachable and friendly way.
Based in my permanent design studio in London, I feel privileged to work with mills, spinners, retailers, trade associations and government departments in the UK; and globally in Europe, South America, USA, Turkey, India, China and South Africa.
I work with a prestigious portfolio of clients – luxury brands, large multinationals, medium-sized manufacturers and smaller niche companies – covering women’s and menswear fabric collections, upholstery and curtaining for interiors, home and fashion accessories and yarn ranges, with a clear understanding of innovative commercial product development processes that are therefore fit for purpose.
