Artist and designer Heather Burgess is the human driving force behind the name Rag Button.  She graduated from the University of Ulster in 2003 where she specialized in Textiles and then gained a Master in Business Studies in 2005.  After all this studying, it was time to put her qualifications and experience into practice.  So Heather, now bursting with knowledge, practical skills waiting to be exercised and an obsession with buttons and all things miniature, Rag button was formed.
