Katie graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in 2025 with a BA and First Class Honours in Textile Design. Her final year collection developed from a 100 day art challenge in which she painted a wildflower each day, forming the foundation for a series of textile works inspired by urban wild vegetation. She created wall hangings using the Korean patchwork technique bojagi, where light passing through the fabric illuminates the flat felled seams, echoing the appearance of stained glass leadwork. Working primarily with hemp fabric for its sustainable qualities and printing with cold water dyes, Katie developed designs informed by the resilience and quiet beauty of urban wildflowers, the bojagi stitching echos the pavements and walls in which they take root. Her practice highlights the ecological importance of these plants in supporting insects and small mammals. She is currently researching and developing new work focused on the migration of the Scottish Atlantic salmon, exploring their life cycle, movement, strength, and the environmental pressures which are bringing the species close to extinction.
