About
From my East London studio, as a British artist, maker, and founder of Studies of Blue World, I handcraft sensitive, poetic accessories for both the person and the home — with an affection for sadness that quietly shapes everything I create.
My work finds beauty in the mundane and the melancholy — each piece capturing quiet, intimate, and often overlooked moments, held with a tenderly playful gaze. These are stories and memories told with an almost childlike, gentle curiosity, honesty, and a hope for connection.
Every item is handmade and hand-embroidered, carrying a unique, charming irregularity that reflects the time, care, and quiet intention behind it. I hope each becomes an heirloom — a small, meaningful keepsake to be cherished.
I work with vintage, surplus, and deadstock fabrics wherever possible. Studies of Blue World takes a thoughtful, holistic approach: a slow, intentional process that’s as much about storytelling as it is about design. Every offcut is repurposed, and each decision made with care.
While my creative path led me into fashion design, painting and handcrafting have remained my most personal, instinctive, and precious forms of expression.
Over time, I found the fashion industry to be wasteful, unethical, and disheartening. This, along with my experience of becoming a mother, inspired me to devote myself to handcrafting — using remnants and offcuts that would otherwise go to landfill, in a bid to edge towards a better world for future generations. I want my work to be a quiet contribution to environmental and social equality — offering small, meaningful gestures in a shifting world.
I grew up in suburban middle England with a difficult, often traumatic childhood. I’ve moved through periods of anxiety, depression, and agoraphobia. I’m incredibly shy, mildly face-blind, and often afraid. These fragments of my past find their way into my work — lingering in the expressions I paint and make, adding a sense of distance, introspection, and quiet vulnerability.
