A little about your background and what first drew you to pattern design?

It wasn’t something I planned to do. I was working as an interiors stylist for magazines and brands and had carried on drawing in my spare time since art school. I thought that a little illustration that I had been working on would work better as a pattern repeat on a wall than in a sketchbook, so I tried it out, with no knowledge of what I was doing and it sold really well and I really enjoyed doing it so I just carried on and the business has grown from there.

Much of your work is inspired by the natural world- what is it about nature that sparks your creativity?

I grew up surrounded by woods and always loved the mystery and feeling of a story waiting to be told within them, the way nature just carries on regardless. I moved from London back to the same area surrounded by the same woods a few years ago.

The Seascape Design you collaborated on for Organic Zoo feels both calming and powerful- what inspired this particular pattern?

We used to go on family holidays to a cove on the North Cornwall coast, both as children and as adults and would stay in a converted lifeboat station that was built into the rocks. Many lazy days were spent sitting on the rocks staring out to sea. The sense of peacefulness when the sea was calm and also the way the waves would violently crash into the rocks when the tide was coming in and there was a storm always stayed with me. I would love to go back.
