Hello world
My name is Kate, I am a Graphic Designer and Interdisciplinary Textile Artist.
My Story
I grew up in Swindon and the Wye Valley, moving to first Nottingham to study Textile Design at Nottingham Trent University then transferring to the University of the West of England (UWE) in Bristol to finish a degree in Interdisciplinary Textile Design.
I spent four years working for Arnolfini, Bristol’s International Centre for Contemporary Arts. Leaving to pursue a freelance career in Graphic Design, which I have been successfully operating in for nearly ten years.

My Work
I am a collector, a magpie, curating found pieces with my own mixed media work and digital design. I work with typography, print, pen & ink, textiles, using whatever is to hand. My practice is research led, practical, embracing craft, upending tradition.
Works can vary in style as much of my portfolio is client led but underpinning the work is always a sense of play, with considered themes and deliberate detail. My work can often have a dark and humourous edge but it is always hopeful.
