Bio.

Anna Howlett is a UK based Textile Consultant and Creator. With over a decade's experience within both global manufacturing and brands, she has most recently spent five years as the Weave Design Manager for the Style Library brands, including Zoffany, Sanderson and Morris&Co. With a personable approach, Anna has focused on nurturing supplier relationships to enable her creative vision.

After gaining a first-class degree in Fashion and Textiles, Anna began her career in Mumbai, working for a leading textile manufacturer. The exposure and opportunities provided while living in India realised a life-long passion and the discovery of her ability to visualise and develop product from concept to launch. With a refined knowledge of textile construction and techniques, Anna has produced bespoke projects for clients around the world. Her experience extends to include; photography styling and exhibition design.

Whilst working for some of the UK’s leading textile brands, Anna was adaptable to the sensitivity and needs of the brands and kept integrity throughout. Her exceptional use of colour, creative vision and design translation were expedited in both residential and contract collections. These diverse brands, along with a great deal of international travel, have informed Anna's considerable knowledge of global textile manufacturing, supported by strong supplier relationships and the ability to source textiles for a vast number of concurrent projects. Further extensive networks include; designers, artists, wallpaper suppliers, test houses, stylists, photographers and location agencies.

"Working with an array of interior textile brands and manufacturers throughout my career has given me the ability to visualise a diverse approach with integrity and creativity. I believe I can integrate into any new working environment, moving out of my comfort zone and build new networks. I take every opportunity to travel the world seeking creativity and experiencing new cultures, which I would love to share with you to enable your next project.”
