Oxford based multidisciplinary designer with a strong commitment to colour interaction and design for play.

Graduating with a first class honours degree from Loughborough University in 2021, Florence was awarded a scholarship to study at the Royal College of Art. Florence uses colour to lead design which often results in a kaleidoscope of geometry with seamless line fluidity and a curiosity towards illusion. Florence’s journey through the RCA has been anchored by the desire to encourage a playful engagement with surfaces through use of colour theory and soft materials.

“My work has a strong personal narrative rooted in colour relations and a desire to distort perception through perplexing colour paths.”

Florence was named as one to watch for both the 2021 Colour in Design Awards and Loughborough Enterprise Awards. Her work has been featured in Wave Press Magazine and Charnwood Gallery and has created work for university campus bus shelters and immortalised Loughborough town in a mural for high-rise flats in 2020.
