I am a UK based illustrator and surface pattern designer, specialising in botanical art and visual storytelling, to help lifestyle brands create designs that feel soulful and alive. I design pattern collections rooted in nature, places and folklore. My bespoke work is suited to brands, who value artistry and design excellence. If you’d like to explore working together, or see my portfolio, please get in touch.

I’m a designer and illustrator who finds endless inspiration in the natural world — from the delicate geometry of flowers to the quiet character of animals.
I love creating intricately crafted patterns and illustrations that bring beauty and soulful storytelling to everyday scenes. I care deeply about the environment and always aim to make thoughtful, sustainable choices in my design business.
You can see how approach my design work on my blog post about being a surface pattern designer.
For commissions or collaborations, please reach out with details about your project — I’d love to connect.

I have beautiful cards, stationery, gift wrap and home decor in available in my shop.
Nature is my muse and inspiration, and I try to minimise my impact on the environment. All my cards are eco-friendly, made either from 100% recycled or FSC certified stock, and printed here in UK by ethical businesses. My packaging is also biodegradable and compostable, so you can feel happy about buying and sending my products out to the world!
I also sell some of my patterns on fabric and homeware via Spoonflower shop.
