🌀 From Riyadh-Bahrain-Riyadh-Medina, my week has been non-stop 🌀 My first aerial yoga class, first visit to the Saudi Travel & Tourism Investment Market, (meeting my new favourite artist) and first time meeting the incredible filmmaker Martha Adams, who was here in the Kingdom to discuss GIRL RISING; the film which she has produced working to empower girls globally - make sure to check it out! Am happy to say that embroidery is also on the green light... currently on a tassel hype here in my Medina hotel room @girlrising #aeroplanedoodles #adobe #ipad #ipen #doodles #designer #inspiration #embroideryonthego #forevertravelling #lovemyjob #explore #travel #embroiderydesigner #middleeast #inspire #getcreative
☁️ A day of silver linings ~ caught in my first desert sandstorm yesterday, which although has meant a lack of sun today, has instead provided a delicious @urth_cafe brunch and an afternoon of embellishment sampling, tucked away in my very mini studio! There may be a lack of sun-kissed skin, but ample hand stitched adornment potentials 🙌✨#productiveweekends #sampling #silverlinings #positivity #opportunities #gamechanger #rosequartz #texture #fun #designer #weekends #nobankholshere #workinglife #tasseltassel #textiledesign #embroiderydesign #detail #experiments

Visiting the Turquoise Mountain Yanbu training centre, captured here with the lovely Nebras and @rebeccahoyes ~ Rebecca and I first met at the end of 2016 to discuss a possible job in Saudi... what a life changing conversation that turned out to be! So good to back working with artisans, discussing design, textiles and hearing all about her exciting global adventures! #yalla #yanbu #trainingcenter #artisantraining #textiledesigner #internationaldesigner #global #femalempowerment #turquoisemountain #connectionthroughcrafts #unite #design #textiles #technique #empower #train #artisans #saudiartisans #inspire #team #yanbudesign #lovemyjob #embroidery #productdevelopment #production #success

Quartz Cluster • --- Rose quartz, neon miyuke & glass beads with Swarovski and miyuke beaded bracelet. Greetings from Yanbu, a Red Sea port city in western Saudia Arabia where I am currently working. I rarely make pieces for myself mainly due to time, however decided this was the perfect accessory, which has now made its way with me for this trip 🙌✨ #littletreats #makeyourown #jewellerydesigner #embroiderydesigner #embellishment #leather #swarovski #beading #beadembellishment #handembroidery #bespoke #luxury #artisan #saudiarabia #yanbu #kingdom #workabroad
Falling in love with magical Lebanon 🇱🇧 My first time here and an absolute joy. After 26k walking yesterday, we felt the car was a better option today, which meant we explored the land! 💞#travel #explore #research #middleeast #inspire #weekends #beirut #lebanon #embroiderydesign #designer #bluemosque #inspiration #artisans #lebanese
Getting ready for a little weekend adventure, Middle Eastern style 🙌✨✈️ Got me thinking back to my travels last year.... ohhh India 🇮🇳 Encouraging you all to visit Madurai 🌀A total feast for the eyes!

Happy Monday All, wishing you a productive and creative week 🌀Embroidery production 🔛🔛🔛 here. 99% of the time I use a hoop when embroidering - not only the best way to keep the fabric taught when stitching, but a great way to balance all equipment! ☺️Can you guess what these will become? @dmc_embroidery #production #embroidery #embellishment #hoop #taughtfabric #silkshading #embroiderydesigner #dmc #cotton #needlework #contemporary #replicate #batchproduction #tradition
I n t e r n a t i o n a l W o m e n ' s D a y ~ this picture was taken a year ago in Jeddah, when I had first joined Turquoise Mountain Arabia. Since then I have been fortunate enough to work with many amazing women throughout the Kingdom, training them with the crafts skills of their heritage to inspire, empower and educate. How proud I am to work for an organisation who works hard to improve the lives of women on a daily basis. I recently returned to the workshop here in a Jeddah, and having sat on this day working hard to perfect a jump ring, having never used an eye pin before, these ladies have now produced a full collection of jewellery, which has just been shown in Tokyo! #womenempowerment #workingtogether #turquoisemountainarabia #turquoisemountain #internationalwomensday #womensday #saudiartisans #riyadh #middleeasternartisans #strongwomen #womenforwomen #workingtogether #craftstraining #femaleempowerment #inspire #ambition #educate #jewellery #embroidery #craftsmanship
Artisans working away at Janadriyah in Riyadh last week. This two week festival celebrates the culture and heritage of the Kingdom, which in turn provides a great opportunity to meet craftspeople from all over Saudi taking part, demonstrating their skills and selling their wares. Palm weaving is a traditional technique used here in Saudi, and one we were on a mission to source • • • #saudicrafts #janadriyah #saudifestival #riyadh #palmweaving #textiles #saudidesigners #artisans #sourcing #bespoke #traditionalcrafts #productionmanager #turquoisemountain #palm #contemporarydesign #saudiarabia #saudiartisans
