My studio practice is continuously evolving, and allows space to work on self-directed projects, independent commissions and collaborations. I am currently focused on interior lighting design, but broadly I'm interested in how objects and images can reflect stories and spaces.
NEW WORK
I’m excited to share a new table lamp design, the first in a series shaped by time spent living and observing in Southeast Asia. This piece is a response to the ubran landscape; where man-made metallic surfaces collide with older, softer materials, such as paper lanterns and old illustrated prints.
The lampshade is created using hand-made mulberry paper, carefully collected from the Bo Sang umbrella-making community in Chiang Mai. It is painted with ink and wrapped around a bamboo structure. The lamp base is handmade in aluminium by metal artisans in the UK.
YOU CAN SIT WITH US
- London Design Festival 2025
At this year's London Design Festival, I exhibited work in 'You Can Sit With Us - Green Carnation', a group show curated by 2LG Studio at Shoreditch Town Hall. The exhibition centred specifically on queer designers, and took the form of a 'salon' that also held space for talks and conversation.
The show received positive press from House & Garden, Wallpaper and Dezeen, who highlighted it as one of the five standout exhibitions of the festival.

STUDIO 88
At the start of 2024, I was invited to take part in the Studio 88 residency programme in rural Chiang Mai, Thailand, to focus on craft connections with local artisans.
I met and exchanged ideas with a community of skilled Thai craftspeople, with whom I was able to explore local techniques in ceramics, natural dye fabrics and teak wood, and develop a small collection of prototype lamp designs.
CHIANG MAI DESIGN WEEK
As a result of my involvement in the residency programme, I exhibited my work with Studio 88 and my collaborators in Chiang Mai Design Week in December 2024.
The exhibition design engaged viewers with the origins of the raw materials from which the lamps were constructed, an awareness that I found strongly prevalent in local design practices.
PORTA ROMANA
I previously worked for Porta Romana as part of their in-house design team, an experience which forms the groundwork of my product design work. Shown here is a selection of pieces I helped to devise and develop alongside the Creative Director, Andrew Hills.
Spry Collection
Lighting collection based on British wildflowers. All iterations are hand-finished laser-cut aluminium sheet, carefully shaped around a steel framework. Created at Porta Romana.
Nash Lamp
Inspired by the line drawings of British artists, the Nash lamp's deep grooves are cast in jesmonite, and hand-finished. Created at Porta Romana.
Salperton Ceiling Light
I designed the Salperton Ceiling Light in response to an existing wall and floor lamp series, with six extending arms. Steel construction with hand-painted gold-leaf finish. Created at Porta Romana.
