My journey in embroidery, marked by the prestigious Embroiderer's Guild Scholar award in 2020/21, is fuelled by a passion for merging traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.Proudly sponsored by Janome UK, Wilcom, ZSK, and GS UK Ltd, my work transcends conventional boundaries, finding a unique voice in the interplay of technology and artisan skill.
