I grew up by the seaside in West Sussex, and moved to London in 2012 to train as a costume maker for theatre. Thriving in the industry for several years, I hit a hurdle when the theatres closed in 2020, but found myself pivoting to set up my homeware brand Cloth & Clay, which helped me find calm amidst the chaos. This theme became a core part of my business.

As a person of colour raised in a small town, I’ve always felt most myself amongst the diversity of the city, but often found myself craving the peace and quiet of the coast. I made it my mission to bring those calm and natural themes into the home, working with muted colour palettes and natural materials to help make the home a haven.

I choose to work with linen, the strongest of the natural fabrics, as it is very sustainable to produce. My products are everyday home essentials of a luxury quality.
