My Positionality Statement

I’m a woman and designer, shaped by growing up in the rich, multicultural city of Manchester. Being raised by my 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.
