My journey into upholstery began in the late 1990s when I took a few evening classes, which led me to pursue a City & Guilds qualification in upholstery and soft furnishings. I completed my qualification in 2005.

Following 14 years in upholstery workshops, I transitioned to working as a sole trader and have been working from my workshop in North West Surrey ever since.

I have a love of fabrics, the beautiful patterns, textures and colours and the effect they have in our homes. Changing a piece of furniture from old, tired and worn out to something usable and pretty again and at the same time helping our planet...that's just magic.
