About me
I am a textile designer/maker, engaging in traditional hand-making techniques from my home studio in Dublin, Ireland.
​
Receiving an RDS Craft Award in 2016 for free-machine Embroidered Cushions motivated me to return to college and study textile design. This sparked a passion for hand-making sustainable contemporary textiles from natural fibres, particularly home grown wool.
Delicate details of our local plants and the tiny creatures playing vital roles in our ecosystem inspire the textures and tones for my handwoven and knitted designs. My mission is to create one-off beautiful bespoke textiles and small, special collections that inspire and delight.
I have a BA in Design and Visual Culture specialising in Constructed Textiles from the National College of Art and Design 2022 and have previously studied Craft and Design in Dundrum CFE and Fine Art in BIFE.
