I am passionate about the intersection of design that is built up by considering elements of sustainability, craftsmanship, and bio-design. With a BA in Textile Design from Birmingham City University, my practice embraces slow processes using natural dyes, weaving, embroidery and biomaterials to explore nature’s design potential.

 

Through my self-published BIO-ZINE series, I share accessible sustainable design news, DIY biomaterial projects, and showcases emerging artists from across the UK. Creating a collaborative, inclusive community for a more conscious design future.​ 

 

I have always been fascinated by natural blue and green spaces, and I create meaningful artworks that reflect the colours found in nature. My practice has led me to exhibit and deliver inclusive circular‑design narratives that explore natural dye hues, with a particular focus on the versatility of seaweed.
