Beckie Parker is a British Knitwear Designer living and working in Los Angeles by way of New York City.
She is constantly inspired by a love of contemporary fashion and the technical side of knitwear and textiles, combined with a keen eye for art, architecture and design. Challenging perceptions of craft based hand techniques in textiles is one of her favourite things, her crochet pieces have been comissioned for both art exhibitions and brands. And she gives back to the kids; guest critiquing at Parsons, The New School for Design and Pratt Institute when she can.
When Beckie isn’t knitting you can find her riding to the beach on her bike.
And yes, rather embarrassingly, she did just write about herself in the third person.
