Art & Design

 
 

They say design is art with a function, but i’m determined not to let the function dampen the art.

Illustration, art, and design is where it all started for me, and I have a Bachelor of Design majoring in Illustration, with 15 years experience in the design industry. Repeating patterns and textile design are central to my work and bridge my passions for interiors, decor, fashion, and art. I bring my unique voice, characterful line and exuberant colour schemes to everything I do - from a coffee cup to a silk kimono at an exclusive hotel, anything can be made that much more special with art.

To collaborate with me on your project please tell me about it here.
