I am a designer, maker, embroidery joy creator. I work from home, currently taking over my parents’ spare room (and most of the other rooms in the house) to accommodate my ever-expanding collection of fabrics, sequins, vintage trims, frames, vintage trinkets and anything else that catches my eye.
I design and create fantastical, sparkly embroideries, usually based on the most mundane things in life. I aim to recreate the most everyday objects, from embroidered erasers to sparkly gin bottles. This year, I have also focused on recreating some of the signs that we see everywhere as sparkling works of art.
