Nicola studied textile design at Central Saint Martins School of Art, London. On graduation she set up a small textile studio, and gradually built up a creative facility and a client base. 30 years on, Nicola has a dedicated team and the current workshop is equipped to provide textile solutions for all sizes of production - from one off garment pieces to chorus or crowd scene effects.
