My work is built on understanding and exploring behaviours and interactions between people and social groups. Colour, texture and absurdity feature strongly throughout my work and combine to create a beautiful but humorous pieces. Sustainability is integral so offcuts and second hand fabrics are widely used to both inform and materialise these pieces.

My work explores the psychological impact and aesthetic value of fashion through juxtaposing the notions of fantasy and functionality. I have a strong love of colour, texture and absurdity which is combined to reveal a beautiful but humorous portrayal of the sometimes necessity of beauty and lack of necessity of function. Sustainability is at the heart of my practice, so the knitwear pieces I developed reuse oddments, offcuts and second hand wedding decor to reinvent our perception of sustainable fashion aesthetic.
