About me
I am a textile designer, focusing on experimental prints for fashion. Layering and clashing prints allow for my work to create a sense of quirkiness and playfulness, as well as bring a textual experience. Alongside this I like to layer different techniques to enhance diverse finished. My main media is screen-printing, however I like to experiment with digital printing, sublimation, CAD embroidery and more I like to push the boundaries of traditional techniques to make new and exciting compositions, allowing these practices to become more contemporary. Designing abstract imagery alongside carefully considered textures and a focus on bold, bright colours generates my fun and enjoyable textile works.
