Do you have a favourite colourway or print and why?
Whatever I’m currently working on is usually my favourite, but it does change all the time! My Nomad print in the Jamboree colourway was the first design I released, so I am particularly fond of it.
Can you talk us through the process of creating a new design?
I always start with lots of drawings, I have hundreds of sketches for print ideas lying around! A lot of my designs start out as linocuts, so that I can play around with the colours and compositions quite easily on a small scale. I love the unpredictability and texture that comes with hand printing, so a lot of my process is about creating and maintaining that in production. I do lots of colour experimentation and print on different surfaces to see how it works as both a fabric and a wallpaper.
What is your favourite part of the process?
My favourite part is when I’m trialling colours and compositions in my studio. After spending days drawing and agonising over the shapes and forms, it’s really fun to see it transform into a repeating pattern and come to life with colour.
