My Positionality Statement

I’m a woman and designer, shaped by growing up in the rich, multicultural city of Manchester. Being raised by a single mum, my upbringing taught me independence, resilience, and curiosity. I’ve always been drawn to noticing beauty in the everyday — from colour combinations in the street to textures in materials. I think visually and instinctively, with a design brain that’s always collecting inspiration from the world around me.

In my creative practice I like to combine digital and hands-on processes, to create work that explores colour, sustainability, and materiality. I like to create mixed media, non-traditional textile outcomes, such as set design, zines, art installations and CMF storyboarding. I have a natural eye for layout and aesthetics — I love making things look good and feel balanced. I’m drawn to objects, spaces, and visuals that please me, and I often express myself through my surroundings and personal style.

I often question what it means to be a responsible designer in a world already full of things and this can cause me to feel overwhelmed sometimes, but this drives me to create with intention. I want my work to bring joy, raise awareness, and reflect care.
