What is your favourite part about being a designer?
I am most happy 
when making belts, especially when working on samples. I love to work with different leathers and materials, and there is an abundance of raw materials to work with. Some of my best selling pieces have been created from impromptu designs.
Where do you seek inspiration from for your collections?
I find inspiration in everything, whether it is travelling or art, friends and family. Sometimes inspiration comes at any hour of the day or night so my phone is my saviour here to jot down all my ideas!
Do you have any favourite pieces from your collection – if so, what are they and why are they your favourite?
At the moment I am very fond of large statement pieces, the Liana and Darcy belts are probably my favorites. I especially love them for Autumn and Winter as they can be worn over coats and blazers - one of my favorite ways to wear a belt.
Why have you chosen to partner with LDC?
I love how LDC brings together great independent brands under one roof. LDC is so much more than a boutique of gorgeous things, the experiences and workshops throughout each pop up bring a new dimension to the selling space. As we don't have a retail space, for us to be able to meet new and existing clients is wonderful. It allows us to connect with customers face to face and really get them to understand a little bit about our world as an independent British-made belt brand.
