Tell us a bit about yourself
I’m from the UK. My background is in textiles, so naturally I love walking around cities finding repeat patterns in the urban landscape and visually stimulating details that are often overlooked. I have an intrinsic eye for colour and am always playing around with new colour palette ideas.
What made you start your company?
Having worked in the Fashion Textile industry for over a decade I was made redundant. This gave me the luxury of time (and a little money!) to sit back and think what next? I’d always dreamt of having my own business but was never sure of ‘what’? I travelled for a while, exploring different crafts and manufacturing processes, returning to HK armed with a fresh outlook and focus. I realised I could combine my love for overlooked details, patterns and colour with my desire to run a business.
