“When I was a little girl, a camping trip was always a great adventure from start to finish. I loved finding the perfect spot to pitch the tent, cooking up some delicious food on the campfire, observing all the little creatures that lived with us in the campsite, stargazing in the evenings and playing with a flashlight.”

“Definitely a pocket hammock to hang between trees and read a book — and a garland of lights is my indispensable companion on every campsite.”

“My favourite moment of the collaboration is when I see photos from a session with small models! Always very surprising and special. I love to see how Halcyon Nights makes the magic and patterns come to life on the fabrics.”

“You can never stop playing and enjoying your work. If you have fun, creativity comes naturally. I use simple, unfussy shapes and vivid colours to create a fun-filled world, trying to make children and adults smile.”
