Private View at Goldsmiths College

Contrasting Betty's Revenge contemporary bags and purses with beautiful purses from the Goldsmiths Textile Collection archive, the ensemble is exhibiting at the Special Collections Gallery at Goldsmiths College until Easter. Curated by myself and Lizzie Cannon.

Textile Forum

I attended the Textile Forum 2012 where I'm quoted drooling over some beautiful leathers by Fibre2Fashion and Lingerie buyer. I usually use recycled leathers with my prints but was drawn to some of the unusual colours and perforations. The next show will be in October and is well worth a visit.

Zara Femme

Am delighted with my design on the perfume bottle. I had wondered how a floor print design would transfer but I am very pleased with the result! Thanks to PysiaPatrysia for writing about it and producing some great images of it. 

Prints on hard surfaces

Can't believe it's late January but am so enjoying the mildness and sunshine! I am very pleased to report that Betty's Revenge has been picked out by the global forecasting site WGSN on its homebuildlife blog.


This screen print design was based on a combination of 50s and Islamic art and printed onto wooden flooring.

Ken and Barbie bust up

I'm not usually one for gossip (ok of course I do read the gossip columns and am a secret fan of gossip girl outfits). Anyway I feel compelled to share yet another inspired campaign by Greenpeace. Barbie is made by Mattel which uses packaging causing deforestation in Sumatra. For more info see the Greenpeace International website here and watch the break up in action in California. There is also an interview with Ken where he finds out the news.

New year new bags and prints

Hi there, am in the final year of my Surface Design degree so apols for lack of postings! Despite juggling my course and two jobs I'm still loving it. I'm very pleased to report that Linda Florence won Surface Designer of the Year at the end of last year and that the flooring I helped work on with her over the summer was exhibited in China, Japan and Central St Martins! I'll put a couple of new bags up shortly and images of my new flamenco inspired prints and ceramics when I can... Meanwhile a groovy online magazine on new designers worth checking out is Remedy Magazine x
