About me

After graduating from NTU last summer, with a 1st in Textile Design, I completed an exciting fabric design internship for WORKINGMENBLUES, Amsterdam. I am now looking for design roles and freelance opportunities, within the Textile, fashion and homeware industries, remotely or in and around London, Surrey and Hampshire. My specialism is embroidered textiles but I have a range of both manual, digital and illustrative skills, Get in touch if you’re interested in collaborating, commissioning or just having a chat :)
