It’s been a bumper year for apples in my mum’s garden—the two trees right next to my studio have been showing off for weeks. Last night we finally surrendered to the abundance and had a batch-cooking evening together: mountains of chopped apples, lots of cinnamon, and… my very first chutney.

Yesterday was one of those perfect creative days that blend design, texture, and a bit of magic. Two worlds I love — rug design and printmaking — came together beautifully.

I’m starting this Substack to share my world of interiors, textiles, and colour — a place where creativity, craft, and design come together. Here you’ll find stories, how-tos, and inspiration drawn from my work and my ongoing fascination with how we shape the spaces around us.
