    ABOUT

    I am a Surface Designer Maker with a passion for experimenting with materials, processes, colours and textures. I enjoy combining these in a variety of ways to try and create new and exciting surfaces, finishes and outcomes. I am very hands-on in my work, and enjoy experimenting with a range of hand tec­­hniques, resulting in outcomes that are organic and bespoke.

     

    Having grown up in South Africa I am greatly inspired by nature. I have travelled around much of southern Africa experiencing its diverse and vibrant landscapes and cultures. Since my move to England I continue to enjoy exploring the contrasting landscapes, which has inspired both the imagery and the hands on approach to my projects. My Projects are greatly inspired by our natural world and the wide variety of textures, forms, materials and processes that are all around us, combining my interests in travel and photography with my passion for surface design.
