Collaborate
Pattern design, licensing and brand partnerships ~ for design houses, fabric studios, lifestyle brands and the heritage sector.
The most generative collaborations are built on mutual curiosity: whether that means bringing fresh eyes to a brand's archive and legacy, or developing entirely original concepts from a blank canvas. I find both equally compelling.
When I work from an archive I act as interpreter: translating the intricate language of an antique embroidery, for instance, into the fluid strokes and dashes of my own brushwork.
“The best collaborations are an adventure ~ where a brand trusts my process to take their brief in a new and unique direction.”
Scenic
Narrative landscapes at mural scale, designed as licensable collection pieces.
Surface pattern
Repeating all-over designs for fabric, wallpaper, print and ceramic.
Textiles
Hand-painted designs for fabric, knitwear and accessories.
Original artworks
One-off and series pieces on any surface ~ from painted furniture and fresco secco panels to site-specific bespoke commissions.
Collaboration is a real joy. The most productive partnerships begin with a shared conversation about what the work could be, rather than a finished brief about what it should look like. I research deeply before I paint anything: the archive, the reference, the visual history that sits behind the brand. What comes out of that research is a design that carries both the authority of the hand and the logic of your commercial context.
