Coastal creativity & a brindle spark of joy arriving in the studio soon!

Life on the rugged south coast of Western Australia has shaped my creativity and surface pattern design for the past 1.5 years — the ocean colours, the natural textures, and the beautiful coastal and bush landscapes that surround us. And in two weeks’ time — on the 19th of September — little Lucy will join us: a beautiful brindle Labrador puppy, black with golden flecks on her paws, cheeks, and cute little butt, that shimmer in the sun. She will be a sprinkle of magic woven into my creative days!

This blog marks the beginning of a new chapter — a place to share my design process, outdoor inspiration, coastal walks, and the joyful (and likely chaotic!) reality of raising a puppy alongside a growing creative practice.

I hope you enjoy our journey!

Lucy’s arrival at 9.05am, Sunday 26th July 2026
