Leonie is a textile designer and weaver with an interest in the relationship between textiles and identity. She graduated from Manchester School of Art in 2021 with a BA (Hons) First Class Degree in Textiles in Practice.
Being born in the UK as part of the Caribbean diaspora, her work is often an exploration into how Caribbean identities and stories can be captured and woven in an array of materials, colours and forms. Experimenting with these combinations, she aims to create a space to appreciate lesser-known cultures by transforming them into beautiful textiles.
