Whilst living in London, Toco married and had a son, living and working there until moving to Japan in 2006, making new collections and collaborations, commissions, and moving to her husband's native Scotland in 2012.

Working from a studio in her home in Scotland, Toco innovates and tries new directions all the time. She especially loves the traditional elegance and a mixture of innovative designs.
