Anna is an experienced Printed Textile Designer, she studied Textile Design at Nottingham Trent, graduating in 2001. Originally from Newcastle she moved to Oxford in 2005 and now lives in Jericho with her partner and three children.

She has worked in the fashion industry for 20 years, spending more than half of that time as a freelance designer. Her clients include M&S, Monsoon, Oliver Bonas and currently, Anthropologie.

Anna launched Jericho Design House in 2017. “I always wanted to have my own brand, but was so used to working to a design brief for others, I wasn't entirely sure what it would look like! It took time for me to realise that the adaptability I'd learnt as a freelance designer could be my unique selling point as a brand.

So after my third child began nursery, in a period where I was looking for new freelance work, I just started drawing, painting and collaging. I created a diverse range of designs for every room and purpose in my home - for the kids, living, dining and garden and I wanted all those areas to have their own distinct feel!”

Anna always begins on paper with watercolour, ink, chalk and occasionally collage.

She rarely has a finished product in mind, focusing on pattern and colour initially.

She then uses Photoshop to play; adapting the scale, colour and placement and finally working the design into a repeat pattern. 

Inspired by William and May Morris, The Bloomsbury Set, Liberty’s, beautiful corners of Oxford and her parents love of plants.

Textile products are printed digitally in the UK using non-toxic water based pigment ink, to retain their original hand-painted quality.

Most products are printed to order, this significantly reduces waste and allows for the a broad range of designs and colourways in the collection.

Giclee prints are produced in Oxford using Epson Archival quality inks onto 276gsm Hahnemuhle paper.
