Having a lifelong passion for sewing inevitably leads to a rather large fabric stash. In 2018 I started selling patchwork fabric online, allowing me to enjoy my fabric obsession even more. It was during this time that it occurred to me that someone was designing the patterns on the fabrics, and for the first time I realised it could be a career. That was when I discovered the joy of surface design.
After figuring out how to make repeating patterns myself with some success, I decided to invest in a few online courses. In 2022 I completed Bonnie Christine's Immersion course. I then spent an idyllic 18 months learning everything I could about surface design. With each new discovery it became clear to me that I'd found my true passion.
I now know what it's like to live my dream.
