I was born on... 24th March

in... Sheffield

I now i live in... Bristol

I live here because… the houses are pretty and it's never boring

I would most like to live in... the south of France

On a typical day off you'll find me... eating

I'm surrounded by... postcards

My absolute hero is… I don't have one

My favourite colour is… cornflower blue

I make myself laugh when... I think about my friends

The way I see things... is in photos

I absolutely adore… cats

I most admire... people who live happily with nothing

If only I could have more... marmite

I'm afraid of... going blind

It's not cool but... I love desperate housewives

My toolkit has... a lot of balloons in it

I am influenced by... photographers

i'm currently working on... my website

If i was to describe my work i would say... I work with playful processes to couple unusual materials, creating functional and tactile interior objects.

If i could have any other skill it would be... magic

I took the leap when… I was towards the end of my degree

What makes my work special is… for you to decide

My biggest challenge has been… trying not to get stressed with deadlines

The most rewarding time was when i… received lovely comments about my work

What is exciting about who/what i am working with now is… the freedom

My greatest aspirations/ambitions are to... travel whilst working
