I am a creative living in London. I have collaborated with creative teams (art department, costume, set) on a number of short films. I have also photographed, styled, designed the set on small photography shoots. I have a range of experiences and skills within the arts and am looking work within and learn more about the creative industries.
At university I studied Art and Design; I developed my own creative practice (including videography, photography, art installation work). I also developed research skills in independently led projects and expanded my knowledge of fashion and design history. Here I realised and honed my interest in the cross-overs between fashion, the moving body, art and music.
I passionate about electronic music and DJ in my spare time.

Education
BA Art and DesignUniversity of Leeds
- Leeds, United Kingdom
Throughout my degree I developed creative thinking and independent working. In my studio practice I have primarily made audio visual work, fabric installations, work on my photography practice. I have explored the moving body, effect-making, 'affectivity', & sensoriality.
See samples of final degree show work: https://www.schoolofdesignleeds.com/degreeshow-2023/edith-young/
I have developed my theoretical knowledge in various modules; '20th Century Fashion History', 'Time & the Image in Contemporary Art', 'Design History: 1900 to the Present Day', 'Material Culture & Mass Consumption'
My involvement in societies at university has been formative & enabled to develop skills:
> Green Action Co-op Society: Chaired online meeting during covid, ensuring tasks were shared & undertaken. Volunteered in the co-op's low-waste (not-for-profit) shop in the student union, engaged with other students, introducing them to the co-op, its activities, and aims.
> BPM society (Electronic Music & DJ Society): performed at open deck events, attended mixing workshops. Provided artwork (printed fabric installation) for decor of fundraiser club night organised by the society.
