Randall is from Berkshire. She first attended the Chelsea School of Art[10] where she studied sculpture and later Falmouth College of Art[11] where she completed an MA in Professional Writing.
In 2006, Randall started her career as a lighting artist and designed her first piece, the award-winning Bakelite Telephone Lamp[12] In 2007 Randall's work started making its way into the marketplace in stores such as Liberty and Harvey Nichols.
Randall's work normally finds its way into boutique hotels, restaurants[13] and private residences[14] as well as the clothing brand Ted Baker. She has designed much of their bespoke lighting pieces for their international stores.[15]
In 2008, Randall started working in the controversial medium of taxidermy[16][17] She took the ethical stance to work only with already dead or culled animals and so has worked a lot with vermin. Works in this vein range from The Carriers to The Rat Swarm Lamp ‘The most nightmarish lamp ever produced’ and Squirrel Wall Lights.[18]
Randall works collaboratively with the photographer Claire Rosen[19] Their images have won multiple awards.
Randall is involved with the charity Freddie For A Day, creating a large scale cast of the statue of Freddie Mercury for the benefit of the charity.[20]
In 2012, Randall was invited by the boutique Hong Kong[21] based store Lane Crawford to exhibit.[22]
