Hi, I’m Jess. Welcome to my happy place!

 

Colour and pattern make my world go round, I always have paint on my hands and a sketchbook in my bag.

I'm a great supporter of traditional crafts and skills and my work is known for having a ‘hand touched’ feel. I love to start my design process with a back-to-basics process of drawing, painting, printing and a lot of cutting & sticking. 

I established my design studio in 2010 and since then have been providing trend, surface pattern, design and illustration for a range of global clients across fashion, interiors and stationery. 

I offer design services, trend consultancy, licensing collaborations and take on bespoke commissions large and small. Contact me if you're looking for enthusiastic, playful design with an edge- If you've got a creative idea for a collaboration/ product or project I would love to hear from you!
