Venturing from teacher to full time designer maker a dream come true!

In January this year I handed my notice in as a teacher so that I can focus all my energies on my brand and I couldn't be happier. I have taught textile design at a Cumbrian school for over 10 years. I graduated from university with a first class degree in Contemporary Applied Arts, then I completed a Masters in the same subject.

Three years ago when my son flew the nest to go to university I reinstated my passion with being creative and making things and I have not looked back since. What started as a hobby on my kitchen table has grown into a thriving brand with my own studio in my house.

My mind is full of ideas and I just don't get the time to fulfil them all. Now with all my energies focused on growing my brand the future looks bright.

Inspiration for me comes from everywhere, people, things, places I am constantly photographing and capturing moments and ideas that can be transformed into drawings and new products.
