I am a conscientious and enthusiastic printed textile designer, with a passion for interiors, soft furnishings, playing with colours and textures.
Seeking a creative role in textiles, fashion or interiors. Using hand-drawn, painted and CAD components to create my designs, I take design and colour inspiration mainly from nature, including landscapes and plants to create my ideas and designs.
I love experimenting with different printing processes and also adding textures to my designs with techniques such as embroidery and appliqué. I also love to sew and make cushions, wall hangings and accessories.
I am very passionate about looking after our planet by using sustainable and ethical processes within the industry and would love to work for a company who shares these values.
In my own time I experiment and develop my own print designs and products from home and I screen printed my designs at a London studio using water based pigments and recycled, salvaged, pre-loved, organic and natural fabrics.
I have experience working in studios for both small and large independent fashion and interior brands, freelance textile, digital and art direction design work, as well as working for a year as a buying assistant.
