Jemma Sykes is a freelance knitted textile designer working in gallery, fashion and interiors. She has a London based design and production studio that specialises in hand, domestic and dubied knits.

Her diverse portfolio is fuelled by the possibilities of the knitted stitch and aims to challenge preconceived ideas of the craft to hopefully inspire.
