The Designer
I am a knitwear designer, textile developer and maker, drawn to the journey of a product long before it becomes a garment. My work sits at the intersection of contemporary fashion, craftsmanship and product development, exploring how materials, construction and thoughtful design come together to create products with purpose and longevity.
I develop ideas from concept through to production, working closely with artisans, suppliers, manufacturers and creative teams. I’m drawn to the process of making and beyond—the feel of a yarn, the possibilities of a stitch, the fittings and refinements that bring a garment to life. Through my consultancy, I also support brands with hand-knit and crochet development, sampling and small production orders, working closely with skilled artisans.
My practice is rooted in a deep respect for materials, craftsmanship and the people behind the making process. At its heart, knitwear is a conversation between fibre, hand, machine and wearer.

The collection draws inspiration from the symbolism of rebirth, echoing nature’s seasonal awakening through the organic curves and openings of seedpods—reimagined in sculptural knitwear and innovative garment construction, translating natural form and negative space into knit stitches.
The Knotty Ones AW’26 collection.
The collection captures the elemental forces of nature, distilled into fluid silhouettes and textures that move with the body. It explores layering softness with strength, ease with intention, through the use of luxurious yarns—mohair, silk, cashmere, and the finest cotton—embodying quiet strength and effortless sensuality.
BYSANDS brand creation and launch collection, IN HARMONY, development.
The vision for this collection was “woman + nature”: the harmony that exists between them and a synergetic essence that is at once strong, wild, and free. She is an untamed beauty, in tune with her senses and deeply connected to nature. Her wild yet harmonious spirit is reflected in one-of-a-kind prints and textiles, designed to
