My name is Kate, I am a designer/maker based in Nottingham, UK. I make a range of products including prints, stationery and accessories from my illustrations.

I have always made things, as far back as I can remember I have been drawing, painting, sewing, knitting and a whole lot of other stuff besides. I grew up next to the river in a town called Otley in West Yorkshire where I did a lot of walking in woods, paddling in rivers, and birdwatching. This is where my love of wildlife began and since then it seems to have been a prevailing influence on my work.

I graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2004 with a degree in textile design, specialising in printed textiles. I started my business in 2008 and in the last couple of years I’ve worked hard on expanding the range. I now work full time from my studio at home, and I love being my own boss!
