With her experimental pieces, often featuring flowers and inspiring messages, Briony’s aim is to bring a little hope and joy to the world. She has collaborated with brands on Instagram such as Topps Tiles and Elizabeth Scarlett, and her digital illustrations have been printed on a range of homeware items including wrapping paper and aprons.
