About me
I graduated in 2017 from the University of Wales Trinity Saint Davids, with a Bachelor of Arts in Surface Pattern Design. There I specialised in fashion objects, where I made jewellery and scarfs for my final project. I also exhibited my final project at New Designers in London. ​I am a creative who enjoys experimenting with lots of different mediums and materials
Projects
  • Stellar Explorer
    Stellar ExplorerThis project was inspired by the idea of intergalactic traveling. I designed prints for fashion. I used a range of photography, drawing, painting, collage, and photoshop to create fun, colorful designs.
  • HYPER GEODE
    HYPER GEODEI thought of the idea of geodes and crystals breaking into a sweet shop and eating all the bright colourful sweets, therefore making them hyper. I decided to experiment with resin for my graduate collection and I soon discovered I wanted to create jewellery pieces out of fun and different materials and processes.
  • China
    ChinaI had the privilege of living in China for a year and whilst I was there I did a series of quick sketches and drawings. I was generally inspired by the trips I took whilst out in China.
