CURRENT MISSION

Creating a local, sustainable textile economy in the UK. Using plant based materials for creativity as a medium for nature connection and meditation. Teaching others about natural materials to help them transition to non-toxic creative practices.

ABOUT ME

My friends describe me as warm, gentle and generous. I try to be authentic in how I express myself and with kindness. I am adventurous and love to spend as much time as possible outdoors, exploring. I love to swim in the sea and rivers, kayak, hike and sleep out under the stars in my bivvy bag. Cooking over fire is a big favourite and foraging for wild foods. I like craft and making clothes and things for my home using organic, natural materials and natural dyes. I love dancing and go to ecstatic dance and 5 rhythms. I tend to cook organic, mostly vegan meals. I'm fascinated by herbalism and passionate about ecological design.
