I was born in London and have spent the majority of my adult life here. I grew up in a remote Sussex village under the South Downs. As a child I spent hours exploring the Downs and surrounding countryside. I also loved our family's annual trips to the local seaside resorts. I think this has left a lasting impression as I am drawn to these delightful, old-fashioned places on the south coast, with their unique architecture complementing the beautiful colours of the English Channel... I studied at Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts and gained a degree in printed and woven textiles. After an eclectic selection of jobs interspersed with various design projects, including unique enamelled buckles, silver jewellery and leather handbags, I changed direction and began a career in media sales. During this time I worked on many new media launches including Channel 4 and the once famed, national radio station, Atlantic 252!
