I've always loved the idea of art being something you can live with, not just something you hang on a wall.

After studying Textile & Surface Pattern Design at Leeds Arts University, graduating in 2022, I went on to work across jewellery and fashion, including time in Sydney working with Bianca Spender, before returning to London and working across print and product at Boden and Reiss.

Alongside my 9–5, I started developing this collection as a way to get back to what I love most.

The idea was simple: why can't an everyday T-shirt be a piece of art?

Each design begins with inspiration from places I've travelled to, lived in and loved. I combine nature, animals, architecture and landmarks with hand-drawn and hand-painted elements to create pieces that feel personal, playful and a little unexpected.

I wanted to make something that sits somewhere between fashion and art.

I think if you have the choice to wear a piece of art, why wouldn't you?

Every piece starts with a hand drawn design, showing the detail and character that comes from creating something by hand.

The first collection, The Rose, reflects this, along with my love of painting through the two abstract designs.

Art is everywhere, especially in colour. In a world of AI, I wanted to keep things simple and stay true to the process of putting pen to paper. There is something about a hand drawn mark that cannot be replaced.
