My name is Java. I am an artist, interior and table stylist, writer and collector of stories. I grew up in a home full of stories, with an artist/interior designer mother and a family full of creatives.

I am fascinated by how our own stories inform our daily rituals and creative expression. My work is mostly centred around the theme of home, life at the kitchen table and the irregularity of creative paths.

I created the podcast ‘On the Irregular’ where I explore these themes and more with folk from a range of disciplines and backgrounds.

I have hosted and facilitated workshops in drawing, styling and creative life-planning, both in-person and online.

My work has been featured by the BBC, 91 Magazine, TABLE Magazine and Heiter magazine.

All of these areas of practice and interest have been poured into my new workshop ‘Tell the Story of Your Home’, where I have created an holistic guide for exploring what home means to you. In this, we investigate your own story, past, present and future and how to lean into this through simple and playful styling techniques, for you to implement in your home.

This workshop is about play, experimenting, finding confidence in your style decisions and creating a space that feels inspiring, safe and most importantly,  like YOU.
