About me
Surface Designer based in Colchester. A recent BA (Hons) Textile degree graduate, at Norwich University of the Arts (NUA). Additionally, I also have an extended diploma in Graphic design. I am a surface designer, specialising in digital pattern making. My work is primarily digitally produced repeats, that are retro, bright and playful. I have a passion for colour which can be clearly seen across my portfolio of work. I would love to hear from you and am looking for a job or internship.
Projects
  • Norridge
    NorridgeI collaborated with @norridge.popup to create patterns inspired by the Hygge trend. These pillows are perfect to complete a cosy morning with a book and coffee. These pillows were designed especially for the pop up these are printed on faux suede cushions.
  • Vertical Addiction
    Vertical AddictionThis project was a collaborative project with Rachel Sirkett working with Vertical Addiction Wellbeing Studio. The aim of this project was to create a new logo for the company, we worked very closely with the client and the brief we were given to achive the final outcome.
  • Heaven & Hell
    Heaven & HellThis project was to reimagine how Heaven and Hell could be packaged. This provided a challenge to think creatively on how these concepts could be presented. This was explored using photography from both a digital and film camera, these images were then manipulated to create imagery that could be associated with heaven and hell.
