I am a BA (Hons) Textile Design graduate with a passion for materials and a broad range of design angles. I am fascinated by the natural world and its natural beauty. This led me to my storyline based concept which recognises natural aesthetic and tactile comfort but its relentless march and recovery. I have really enjoyed researching and creating bio materials, personally developing in an experimental, hands on approach. I have blended techniques and disciplines and I am really happy with my unique and innovative results. During my NEXT placement last summer I learned a lot and gained experience working in the kids wear design team. I benefitted from invaluable exposure to NEXT’s print designers and knowledge from the fashion sourcing team. Upon graduating I want to begin a career employing my expertise of print and pattern design and possibly indulge my experimental side too in the textile industry.
