Inspired by nature

Nature is my greatest source of inspiration. It all begins with a woodland adventure, where an idea strikes me—perhaps inspired by the colour of a leaf or the chirping of a bird. Ideally, I have my sketchbook with me (which is usually quite likely), and I put the shapes and colours down on paper. The paintings come to life at home: I paint the background for the future design separately from its elements, and I look up lots and lots of reference photos. This is probably the longest stage: researching and studying, and developing the colour palette. Once I’ve finished this part, it’s time to digitise the paintings.

You might wonder why, if I studied digital illustration and graphic design, I don’t create the paintings digitally. I could explain that in much more detail another time. For now, let’s just say it’s like comparing books with a touchscreen Kindle. I think we need at least this much analogue activity in our lives. Once I’ve corrected every detail and arranged the elements, I place an order for the fabric, ready for printing.

Sustainability from the ground up

The designs are printed, but without harming the environment: the water-based pigment inks used to print them are certified by OEKO-TEX® and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). This means they:

  • Contain no heavy metals, phthalates or toxic synthetic chemicals.
  • Are completely skin-friendly and baby-safe, so they can be used with confidence on sensitive skin and for our beloved pets, too.

We print only as many metres of fabric as are precisely needed for our collections and orders. Avoiding overproduction in this way is one of the most important foundations of sustainable creation. I believe caring for the environment starts with making things that don’t need to be thrown away after just one season. In pigment printing, the ink bonds firmly to the fibres of quality cotton and linen fabrics.

The hand-painted details, subtle nuances and rich colours stay just as vibrant and beautiful after many washes as they were when you first held them. So when you choose a piece from me featuring a unique, hand-painted design, you’re not only getting a much-loved accessory made with care and heart—you’re also supporting a production process that respects nature. After all, good stories begin outdoors!
