About me
Experimental fashion accessory designer who likes to push boundaries with unusual pattern cutting techniques and material choices. In my years of university education, I have learnt a great deal and am excited to continue learning and developing my skills in a professional environment. I have always been creative and aspire to innovative in all my areas of work. I am hardworking and dedicated, with a passion for the creative process, I always strive to create and produce work to the very best of my ability. I feel I am a reliable and open-minded, which allows me to work well within a team not just independently.
Projects
- Final Graduate CollectionFinal collection produced in my final year. Inspired by the work of artist Magali Reus. Work developed through mixed material sampling and 3D pattern experimentation. I chose to explore different molding techniques and the idea of exposed structures. My colour palette was inspired by the materials I sourced, then developed to suit my target market and design ideas. I wanted this project to challenge my creative design development skills especially 3D development and also push me to work in new ways and think outside the box. My market level for this project was bespoke design for a unisex collection. Being a design led collection I felt my products appealed to a wide range of customers from different backgrounds and different customer profiles. My aim was to create designs that were functional yet highly creative and that would offer something different from the current market.
