About me
I am a textile design graduate with a strength for drawing and print-based design. I have spent the past three years working as an Early Years Practitioner, with a focus on art, which has enabled me to think on my feet, and become a natural at multi-tasking. I am now looking at finding a job where I can once again fully put my creative skills to use.
