Profile

I am an opinionated, hard working textile practitioner taking inspiration from a multitude of places. Currently I am finishing the last project of my first year degree (group project), having had a job for a year now has given me the skills to work with other people productively. Collaborating on a project ‘Dress Code’ with numerous designers, artists, companies, and my group from university, has allowed me to participate in a completely new and challenging experience. Over the next few years, I will push my creative and personal limits to find my true identity as a designer.
