I’ve been a designer for over 20 years and have written several books on hand knitted accessories, the most recent being Warm Hands which I co-edited with Kate Davies and to which I also both contributed a design .

My work has been published in several UK magazines including The Knitter and Knitting magazine for which I also wrote the articles “Black People Do Knit’ and ‘A Colourful Debate’.

In 2018 I created the POC Designers & Crafters list. It highlights the work of people of working in the fibre industry and in 2020 led to me founding BIPOC in Fiber, a database of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour working in fibre
