I have worked as a textile print designer for fashion and home wares within the UK and globally for over 15 years. Creating bespoke print designs for both digital and rotary printing, as well as tweaking and reworking vintage prints into repeated factory ready designs. I also work on trend reports and catwalk round ups to help with my customers’ vision. I have fantastic drawings and painting skills and extensive photoshop expertise. I recently started a greeting card business selling fun and humorous cards and wrapping paper all designed and drawn by me. Anthropomorphic dinosaurs and silly animal puns are my favourite but I also have some all over pretty designs too, inspired by my previous travels. I created my own brand identity and website for this as well as selling and merchandising at markets and fairs.
