AUTUMN 25

A riot of colour!

01

Your designs are often described as joyful and optimistic. What role does emotion play in your creative process? Emotion plays a huge part for me, and I’ve always been drawn to shapes and colours that evoke a sense of nostalgia and warmth. Creating pieces that people connect with emotionally keeps me inspired. Where do you find inspiration and has that evolved over time? I’ve always found inspiration in nature. I love the Irish countryside and how verdant and dramatic it is. My mother still lives there, and whenever I’m home, I find myself drawn to the Wicklow mountains, always finding something new.

03

Why do you think nostalgia is having a resurgence in design? Nostalgia has always been important in design because people seek reassurance and comfort, especially at home. How do you keep retro-inspired patterns feeling fresh? There are so many fun ways to play with pattern. I love how fresh they can feel with just a few tweaks – changing proportions, using unexpected colour combinations, or placing a familiar motif on interesting fabrics gives nostalgia new energy.

“Retro-inspired design remains prevalent – the concept of form and function never wavers. It’s rooted in modernism and full of character .”
