About Kate Millbank

Hi I’m Kate and I am a print and pattern maker working predominantly in the medium of lino printing. I am inspired by the natural world and my work is a celebration of the native flora and fauna of the British Isles. I love to make original prints and thoughtful products, that bring my customers joy and help them to bring a touch of the wild into their home.  Sustainability and craft are at the heart of my design ethos and I always try to make products that tread lightly on the planet.

My background is in Fashion and Sustainable design. I have a BA honours degree in fashion from Central Saint Martins and a Masters degree from The Centre of Alternative Technology in sustainability. I have spent several years working in the fashion industry and later for an environmentally conscious interior design company. In 2013, I moved to Scotland with my young family, and undertook some additional training at the Edinburgh Printmakers. I established my own design studio in 2017.
