My work connects natural colour, textiles and circular product design.

Through material research, hands-on experimentation and design, I develop more responsible textile products and translate this knowledge into workshops and collaborative projects.

Services

Colour & Material Development

Together, we define the material challenge and identify where textiles, colour or product design need to change. Relevant alternatives are researched, tested and developed into solutions that fit the product, its requirements and the wider context.

Circular Product Development

We examine textile products from raw material and colour to construction, use and end of life. Together, we identify barriers to circularity and develop changes to material choices, processes and product design.

Colour & Material Workshop

A research-led workshop built around your material or colour questions. Participants explore textile resources, natural colour and circular design through practical experiments, discussion and application.
