I am very happy to show you three designs of mine that became products by American gymnastics activewear brand Plum Practicewear in 2018. ‘Icebreaker’ became part of their winter collection, ‘Waikiki’ was in their summer Coastal Craze collection and ‘Jubilee’ turned out to be a tropical bestseller from their Back to School collection.
I am very honoured to be a featured designer on the Patternobserver blog in cooperation with SURTEX New York. I am utterly proud to be showing a couple of my designs with Pattern Observer Studio at Surtex in New York this May. For those of my friends and followers who would like to know a bit more about… Read More
As you might have guessed from my artwork, there is nothing I like designing more then tropical prints. Let me tell you a little story from my designer’s life.

What makes them furthermore special is that the company decided to sell each scarf with… Read More

I like how diverse my designs are, they started out as textures painted with watercolour, photographs or even doodling on… Read More
As some of you might know, besides being a textile designer I am also a yoga teacher. When I first heard the word ‘Athleisure’ at a WGSN trend seminar I was about to jump up and shout “That’s me!”. I wear leggings and some kind of dress/tunic all day long as I transition between yoga… Read More
My November Collection begins where my October Collection ended – at the ‘Botanicactus Garden’ in Mallorca. And it is another collection designed to a Patternmash live brief, called Defence Mechanism. The special thing about this brief was, that it was a weekend brief in contrast to the usual month-long-projects. When I got the brief for… Read More

April showers bring May flowers … watercolour patterns! For this year’s monthly collection challenge (self-imposed) I like working to the briefs of the Textile Design Lab. In April their brief focused on so-called “Capricious Classics” like stripes, dots, plaids, florals and paisleys and a combination of them. I wanted to get away from the computer… Read More
