She is interested in ethical and sustainable making, selecting raw materials that would be destined for landfill and transforming them. Through a number of processes that include layering, heat bonding, cutting, folding and handstitching, the bags are transformed into a versatile material that is colourful, soft, lightweight and durable. Innovative and contemporary, she enjoys giving a discarded material a new value and revealing its capacity for beauty.

A degree in botany enabled her to appreciate the many different varieties and she incorporates the subtle range of bark colours in her work.

Her baskets are robust and tactile using flowing curves and spiral weaving patterns, which give strength and rhythm.
