A passion for hand-stitched beauty

Since childhood, I've been captivated by the art of embroidery. The process of carefully combining vibrant colors and intricate patterns into something truly special has always held a special place in my heart. This passion eventually blossomed into a lifelong career dedicated to creating unique and enduring hand-stitched gifts and homeware.

A background in textile design

My formal education in Textile Design from the Glasgow School of Art and further studies at St. Martin's School of Art in London laid the foundation for my artistic development. I honed my skills at "Kim & Clark Design, " collaborating with them for a decade and selling my work to prestigious manufacturers across the globe.

A distinctive style

Drawing inspiration from my surroundings and the beauty of the natural world, I create each piece with meticulous attention to detail. The result is a captivating blend of vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and elegant craftsmanship. I pride myself on using only the finest materials, primarily vintage Scottish wool, to ensure that my creations are not only visually stunning but also durable and long-lasting.

A personal touch

Each of my pieces is a unique expression of my artistic vision, infused with a personal touch. I offer clients the opportunity to personalize their items with special messages, names, or even poems, making each one a treasured keepsake. This allows my work to become a meaningful present that transcends generations.

A legacy of love and artistry

My work is designed to transcend time and become cherished heirlooms. I believe in creating pieces that can be passed down through families, treasured by loved ones, and celebrated for generations to come. Each stitch tells a story, carrying the love and skill of the maker.
