I'm a textiles and wall coverings designer with a passion for creating high-end interiors and tactile prints. I oversee design from concept to launch, delivering upholstery textiles, drapery, cushions and throws for indoor and outdoor spaces, and I collaborate closely with marketing to craft visuals and campaigns. Outside of work I enjoy visiting galleries, chasing new launches, taking photographs, and hiking up big hills. I'm excited to bring energy, creativity and a collaborative spirit to a dynamic design team.
