About me
I am a recent graduate of a Bachelor of Design (Honours) at the University of NSW Art & Design. I have recently moved back to London from Sydney, having worked as a Graphic and Textile designer at Tappeti. My time in the industry has taught me to balance the demands of multiple deadlines by maintaining an organised and efficient work schedule. I am very versatile and ambitious, and work well both in a team environment and individually.

Work history
    Textile & Graphic Designer
     - Sydney, AustraliaFull Time
    Tappeti is a commercial and residential rug company who specialise in providing clients with completely customisable handcrafted rugs. As a designer, my role included working with clients to create unique designs that compliment their home. Including both graphic and textile elements, I have developed a strong eye for colour, and a vast knowledge of surface design, juggling the demands of a fast-paced environment with the ability to provide bespoke designs.

    As part of my degree I completed an internship at Longina Phillips Design - boasting clients such as ‘Karen Walker’ ‘Topshop’ ‘Zara’ & ‘Givenchy’. My duties included helping the design team in mounting fabric headers & paper designs, assisting at client meetings and day to day studio jobs. I was also given the opportunity to submit designs to the creative director, with over 15 designs chosen to be included as part of their collection, and sold to brands such as Topshop.
