Design has always been my life, one way or another.......
Design is my background and I studied art and design, graphic design and multimedia design at art college, however, I only really put it into use many years later, after my 1st child was born.
After having my 2nd child, I found it difficult to return to my employed work, due to childcare, so I decided to go self-employed and see where my design skills take me.
I started off making hair accessories and embroidered tote bags, designing some of the embroidery work I used. Then my eldest daughter started artistic roller skating and she wanted skirts like the other girls, so I made her skirts and skate covers, but in bright bold colours. Others soon wanted skirts and skate covers and I set up a business making skatewear, which is currently paused, while I find space to set up my sewing machines again.
How did I get into creating prints? I have always been creating designs, I designed and created all the wedding stationery, table plans, and order of services for my own wedding. I've created cake toppers and wedding stationery for family too.
The thing I love about design is it's always evolving, I have lots of ideas and sometimes too many to execute!
