Why..?..
"Since I was a little girl I have always had a passion for designing and making, anything really from clothing to cushions. My grandmother Dorothy Joan taught me the basics of sewing when I was around 8 years old. Coming from a large family she was very thrifty and used to make all my Aunties clothing. She was and still is my inspiration.
I especially feel inspired by colour and fabric, colour makes me happy, I love to be surrounded by fabric and prints....I am always on the look out for more fabrics to add to my collection!

My Journey so far...?...
My life so far has been spent living all over the UK, my family and I are now settled in the beautiful Historical City of Lincoln. before that we were living in the Cotswolds, full of thatch cottages and beautiful greenery, this is where my second daughter Everlyn was born earlier in 2012...before moving to the Cotswolds in June 2011 we lived in Cornwall where I was lucky enough to take some time out and raise my Daughter Freya and focus on launching my Business 'Smiley Miley Design.' Although this had always been a dream of mine since I completed my Masters Degree at Nottingham Trent University in 2002. Before relocating I designed full-time for the TU Label @ Sainburys, I was one for the founding designers. I worked on both Girlswear and Babywear ranges including accessories. Prior to that I assisted Susi Henson @ Eternal Spirits and studied at Nottingham Trent University where I completed my Masters Degree in Fashion and Textiles and I achieved a 1st class BA Hons in Fashion Design."
My Masters Collection...
A few images taken at my Masters Degree Final Show, at Nottingham Trent University in December 2003, my collection was all designed and handmade by myself.
