MY DESIGN BACKGROUND

My love of design and creativity comes from growing up in a family of talented designers and being surrounded by beautiful textiles and artwork all of my life.

After graduating from Art School in London in 1990 I specialised in high-end packaging design for over 15 years working for clients such as United Distillers (now Diageo), Crabtree & Evelyn, Highgrove (HRH King Charles), Fortnum & Mason’s and Marks & Spencers.

During this time I developed a love for colour, typography, illustration and detailed artwork which I have now put to use with my current design venture as a photographic/ mixed media artist. My design background comes through in the way that I work, as I plan and multilayer each artwork with a huge amount of detail.

Taking a break from design agencies, I spent an inspiring year travelling through Asia with my husband and after a 3 year stint freelancing and guest lecturing at RMIT in Melbourne, Australia, we returned home to the ‘alternative arty’ City of Brighton UK for the arrival of our twin boys. Then ready for our next exciting adventure, we moved to Asia, first to Shanghai, then Hong Kong and are now based in Singapore.

My heart belongs to Asia as I continue to be inspired by the amazing energy and vibrant colours I see around me, both at home, on my travels and now with my exciting Sri Lankan house build.

I am so passionate about what I do and hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy creating it!
