About

My influences come from the desire to be kind to the planet whilst using quality products. My unique pieces draw inspiration from different aspects of my life.

Many ideas come from my local surroundings: living by the sea in Portobello with its wide skies and sea which change daily in colour and form; the rich architecture in Edinburgh and the vast landscapes I visit in Scotland. As well as this, I have been greatly influenced by my family and their love of patterns, colour and textures. My Nanny Joy inspired many of my most colourful designs.

My box designs are based on original mid-century sewing boxes. I admire their clean lines and elegant design, and also see their potential to be used for much more. The idea was born to create pieces with the ability to store precious items which, rather than being hidden away, could take centre stage in any room. 

 

I have always loved fabrics, colour and textures and studied at the School of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishing in Stirling. Using this knowledge and my passion for combining textiles and colours, the idea was born to create truly unique upholstered boxes.  Every one I create is different, telling a story inspired by the world around me.
