Wendy graduated in fashion from The Scottish College of Textiles and immediately gained recognition from her peers as a talented designer, producing  top selling products for well known brands. After working as a freelance fashion designer for several years, a commission opportunity arose introducing Wendy to the world of rug design.

A debut rug collection was well received, with Vitality, a vibrant design in reds inspired by the incredible Australian outback, selected as a finalist for a top industry award. Wendy formed her first company in 2004 and for eight years the business focused on the design and creation of bespoke rugs for Interior Designers, Architects and discerning residential customers.
