About me
As a designer I have a passion for material innovation! I am driven by exploring the possibilities of material properties, through investigating an array of unlikely processes, methodologies and new technologies to discover new potentials. The incorporation of unconventional materials to a substrate intrigues me, as I love to experiment, and push materials to create innovative surfaces. I am very trend and research led, which enables me to create interesting design concepts.

    Exhibiting my graduate collection at New Designers 2018. Unconventional Tactility focuses on transforming unconventional materials into material and fabric design concepts, through different processes and technologies. All of the designs are photographed and styled into trend boards and an accompanying lookbook, which showcases how these concepts can be applied to fashion.
