We live in the depths of rural Shropshire and although my work isn’t what you’d call “country” the visual richness all around feeds into my design work. A lot is often said about inspiration. Sometimes I feel this is too heavy a word, often it is just a sense of something, maybe as vague as giving space and light. I can look at a design and know if it allows air to breath, that it is not cluttered nor busy.

It’s often the small details, things fleeting or incidental that are so compelling; rivulets of rain on glass, haphazard lines in a clump of bamboo, saw marks in a chunk of wood, subtle effects which I transform into animated patterns. Maybe as simple as an etched sgraffito line, flooded with colour which seeps along it, its unpredictability giving it freshness.
