My Bio
I am a professional surface pattern / graphic designer / illustrator with designs having been printed for Clinton cards, Oxfam, and Birthdays among others.

I have a National Diploma level in Art and Design, specifically Textiles and Surface Pattern Design. I love Digital Photography, Illustration/Drawing, Printmaking, 2D Pattern Design, and Textiles.
I'm not interested in going to university, I don't believe its a necessity as it doesn't guarantee you a job, and it doesn't guarantee you are any good! People have told me you can learn a lot on the job and I've gotten where I am today without any extra qualifications, and am very proud of myself.

I am obsessed with flowers and eyes in photography, although I do have love for the sky, and people.
My preferred photography style is Macro. I love the tiniest of details captured in them.
I use a digital camera for my photos, a Canon Powershot SX210 IS.

My influences include: Alexander Henry, Sanderson Fabrics, William Morris, Dan Mumford, Celeste Stein, Lucienne Day, Terrence Conran, The print and pattern blog, & everyone I work with!

I use illustrator and photoshop in my work, as well as drawing by hand. :)

I am currently Freelancing and cannot show my work until it has been used


Please note I have recently decided to do some attempts at modelling. Mostly its just been with a friend, good clothes and my trusty corset, but I am hoping (sort of) to branch out - I am mostly just trying to wake my confidence up a bit.


Please do not use my work without permission. I work very hard on my pieces.

I've had more favourites, watchers and comments since doing modelling related stuff on deviantart than I have EVER have had for my art work. Its a little disheartening, but I know what I gotta go to get an audience now! Whack out the attempting-to-be-sexy goth pics! :P and boy have i got more plans. ADDED - I forgot the actual point of this original entry - its to say thanks very much! :] Keep letting me know what you think

Hi! I love your artwork, especially your prints. I also love print making and I did a nd in textiles in college. I would love to get into freelance work such as yours, mainly wrapping paper, wallpaper, stationery (like paperchase) etc. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving me a few pointers if your not too busy. I would be very grateful.
Thanks! :)

Oh and I came across your post on the forums about adding a surface pattern design catergory and I totally agree! Would do you put your prints under?
