I've spent a decade and a half of professional practice obsessed with sharing my love of flowers and plants - first working as a jewellery designer, then, with my husband as a homewares pattern designer and brand owner, photographer and stylist for hire - all the time creating work inspired by Botanical form.

Our work, and products, have sold internationally and we've had the pleasure of being featured in some of the worlds top blogs, profiled in influential magazines, and stocked in the best stores.

In an incredible career high, one of our floral wallpapers was acquired for one of the most important design-led collections in the world, The Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian, in New York.

My client list includes Liberty, Jo Malone London, Annie Sloan Paint, Ulster Bank and Garden Journal Magazine.

I’ve recently finished the commission for the new Ulster Bank Polymer Bank £5 & £10 notes, where I drew the floral illustrations of native Irish hedgerow plants for the front of the bank notes. The £20 note, featuring Hawthorne blossoms, launched in October 2020, and the £50 note launched in 2022. It’s a huge honour to have been involved in this project and I can’t wait to see my drawings in action on the money used daily in N.I. for the next forty years!

Currently, my focus in on developing my illustration work to include wider themes of nature, healing plants, seasonal reflections and reverence.

In May 2023, we opened a lifestyle store in the coastal town of Banff, in Aberdeenshire, North East Scotland. Not only does PETAL (the store) house my own brand, but we champion many independently run brands, many of which are female-founded businesses. The store is a botanically-inspired, nature-led and consciously-curated lifestyle store, with books, toys, cards, gifts, crystals, natural beauty, and herbal remedies. A tonic for modern life, we hope!
