I am an embroidery and product designer, currently working from my home studio. I have a factory very nearby, to which I am able to outsource large runs of embroidery, and enlist a few outworkers to help with production. It is very important to me to keep all production within the UK, and fabric and materials are also purchased from UK companies wherever possible.
I am based in the Midlands, UK, in a town called Nuneaton. My partner and I moved to the area to be closer to his workplace and have no plans to move just yet. We are blessed with being very close to the countryside, have fantastic neighbours and there is also a great community of other small businesses and makers that I have had the honour to meet through networking.
