A bit about me!

Hi, I'm Steph!

With over 30 years in the design business, I bring a wealth of experience to every project, workshop, and course I work on.

I offer a reliable, professional design service and run fun, hands-on workshops that let me share my passion for creativity with others.

Designer & Maker

Quirky, fun, decorative, and patterned — that’s my signature style.

Whether you need custom artwork created just for your project or want to browse my portfolio of existing designs, I’d love to help. Just send me an email with what you’re looking for.

I create:

  • Illustrations

  • Surface patterns

  • Designs for products of all kinds

My brain is always buzzing with creative ideas, let's make something amazing together.

Workshops & Courses

"Creativity mends the soul."

I teach sewing classes in Milton Keynes, where I get just as much out of sharing creativity as my students do!

MY VALUES

Creativity

Creativity is at the heart of my work. I design with sustainability and style, creating unique, functional designs for many different products.

My sewing workshops inspire learning, upcycling, and confident self-expression.

Community

Community is at the heart of my work, fostering connection, collaboration, and shared creativity. Through my design services and my workshops, I create a supportive space where people learn, grow, and inspire one another.

Fun!

I infuse fun and playfulness into my art, folk say my art makes them smile.

In my sewing workshops I create a relaxing space for creativity. I inspire confidence, experimentation, and joy in the creative process..

Sustainable

I integrate sustainability into my design services and sewing workshops, using eco-friendly materials, zero-waste techniques, and upcycling wherever possible to inspire conscious creativity.
