As a British textile designer, artist, and maker, my life’s journey is a rich tapestry woven with threads of English, Vietnamese, and Chinese heritage. With a BA (Hons) in Textile Design from Central Saint Martins, I have developed an original creative practice spanning over two decades. My work has encompassed fashion and art consultancy, photography, and art education, shaped by lived experience, research, and long-term dedication to my craft.

Deeply influenced by Eastern philosophy, art, and design, my practice is rooted in a profound respect for the traditions, materials, and processes of Asia. It was through indigo dyeing that I discovered a lasting connection to cloth as both medium and language. For me, fabric is not merely a surface, but an extension of the human form — a vessel for memory, movement, and identity.

Working primarily with indigo and natural textiles, I create sensory, wearable works that transcend conventional notions of cloth. My aesthetic is shaped by a balance of minimalism, symbolism, and modernism, guided by nature’s raw elegance. The kimono block pattern serves as a foundational structure in my work, providing a timeless silhouette through which I explore the relationship between functionality and beauty.

My practice is grounded in authenticity, cultural respect, and original authorship. I am committed to honoring the lineage of the traditions I work with, while contributing my own voice, perspective, and innovation. My work reflects a deep, personal relationship with material, process, and heritage — shaped through years of practice, not imitation.

Today, I continue my journey as an artist, textile designer, and art educator, dedicated to creative integrity, cultural responsibility, and the truthful expression of my life’s work.
