Projects
- Returning to NatureFinal Major Project based on the textures and imagery of fungus. Using the techniques: screen print, CAD embroidery, digital print and stitch embellishment. The project was underpinned by my desire to use natural materials (including cork 'leather', wools, organic cotton), as well as sourcing wools from charity shops, all in aid of limiting the lasting ecological effects of my collection.
Work history
Community WardenArts University Bournemouth

I worked as a Community Warden for the University, which involved engaging with the local residents on behalf of the university, to gather feedback and information about living within the community. This involved recording complaints and ideas suggested by the residents weekly, which would then be passed onto the appropriate department.
