Hello! I’m Abby a multi-disciplinary designer & maker.
Throughout my work I combine traditional graphic design
methods along with textile techniques and other processes. At heart, I am a
maker endlessly creating things with my hands. It is this obsession with
tactile qualities that results in finely crafted designs and pieces.
I also enjoy exploring print, typography, book binding,
embroidery, editorial design and graphic art. The key to all my work is a high
attention to detail along with colours that have been selected and matched
perfectly.
I am a hoarder of many collections whether it be fabric, papers,
plants, Star Wars paraphernalia, tickets, books or more. All of which I like to
surround myself with in my studio for inspiration and idea’s.
