As a Textile Artist & Researcher I connect people to the present moment, and each other, through materials. I do this through physically interactive artworks. Using a playful
​aesthetic, my work is immediate and accessible. 

Equally interested in people and materials, collaboration is at the core of what I do. I often handcraft works alongside other practitioners and venues. I specifically enjoy working with excluded audiences. 
​
To date my individual and collaborative work has involved The National Trust, BBC, Pop-Up Parks, The Museum Of Science & Industry, Queen Street Mill, Manchester Craft & Design Centre, Macclesfield Silk Museum, Free For Arts Festival, FutureEverything and more.
