DESIGNER BIOGRAPHY
Coming from a long line of talented crafters and needlewomen who invented their own designs, it was only a matter of time before Deborah did the same. An enthusiastic crocheter, knitter, sewer and jewellery maker, she takes inspiration from the glorious countryside around her home in the Vale of Glamorgan and enjoys designing quick, practical and stylish items.
