“I’D SAY MY LOVE OF MAKING things comes from my mum. She made our clothes and knitted our jumpers – for all six of us – and the clickety-click of knitting needles and the hum of her old Singer sewing machine was the soundtrack to my childhood. Influenced by her, I went to Glasgow School of Art in the early 1990s, where I studied printed textiles and surface design.
