Collection: the habitat collection
habitat /ˈhabɪtat/ noun: the natural home or environment of an animal, plant, or other organism
Our earth is beautiful...and despite the damage we do to it, it continues to grow, flourish and graciously give back. Our habitat is where we find food, protection and shelter. It is also a space where we find delight and inspiration. Our senses are heightened in nature while our anxieties are calmed.
The Habitat Collection is a carefully curated selection of nature inspired designs that each tell their own tale. This collection expresses my love for nature and the beauty and power it displays.

test pattern
Patterns are always on my mind. My homework diary was jammed with ballpoint doodles, I draw designs in beach sand with my finger and I see patterns wherever I go. Test Pattern began as a playful print for a batik workshop in Bali which evolved into an abstract design of fauna and flora shapes that frolic across the fabric.
cutting corners
I use a rotary cutter to snip off the curved corners of the purses I make. One day, before sweeping the triangular offcuts into the bin, I noticed the pattern they made as they fell onto the table… like a flock of tiny fabric birds about to take flight. Cutting Corners is about seeing the whimsy in the waste.
waves
The ocean is my happy place. Home to so many diverse and incredible creatures, it is a source of amazement and wonder. The energy from the waves is both tranquil and powerful…a natural mood booster. This print expresses my joy for surfing and my love of the ocean. The simple, freehand wavy shapes are reminiscent of a Japanese design style.
