I am a textile designer who loves to draw and turn my drawings into wearable artworks, mainly scarves but some other accessories too. I have a little studio in a back bedroom of my home in Aberdeen, UK, which is where all of the designing and some of the finishing takes place. I also regularly visit my parents in rural Aberdeenshire, where I grew up, for some wilderness inspiration.
