I go where your business goes.

Your business doesn't happen in one place, one time.
It needs consistent coverage to ensure consistent connection.

My personal branding partnerships do just that!

Since we're having our first exhibition at the studio, showing off a preview of Iconic Fatigue where we worked with the wonderful Charlotte Raffo @the_monkeypuzzletree, it finally seemed right to open the gift I bought myself from her beautiful collection all those many months ago.

There needs to be more lying down at exhibitions. It’s a beautiful, poignant and embodied way to tell stories of chronic fatigue.

What a privilege to be part of this.

If you are able, go and see Iconic Fatigue by Polite Rebellion at The Nests on Regent Street in Leeds.

Three beds, three stories, three lived experiences of Chronic Fatigue/ME.

Day 250/365 #photooftheday
A little glimpse of the beautifully designed bedding based on my story of Chronic Fatigue/ME that is part of Iconic Fatigue. I have felt very moved and honoured to share my experience.

So ‘Lie down. Listen. Immerse yourself’

Iconic Fatigue is a new project by award winning duo disabled artist Ellie Harrison and designer Bethany Wells in collaboration with print designers Hester Simpson and Charlotte Raffo. We interview people with energy limiting conditions about their experiences, then interpret their words through print design to boldly occupy a space in contemporary society that people with chronic illness are often excluded from. These print designs are then made up into bedding sets. Bed linen and audio interviews combine to make an Immersive installation for galleries.

It was a pleasure catching up with Charlotte from @the_monkeypuzzletree at SDS26.

She walked us through her innovative real cork wallpaper and her striking screen‑printed textile wallcovering, a design that was shortlisted for the Surface Design Awards 2026. The Monkey Puzzle Tree works across both residential and commercial projects, bringing bold, artist‑led patterns into spaces that want something truly distinctive.

Watch the video to hear more about her process, her materials, and her experience exhibiting at the show.

Thinking about exhibiting at SDS 2027? Submit your enquiry via the link in our bio our team will be in touch.
