Kelly is currently designing and making mindful and eco-friendly textiles, interiors and fashion accessories for her business, Design Floe.
Gaining a Master of Arts in Textile Design Innovation at Nottingham Trent University, Kelly curated a collection of luxury, dynamic, and handcrafted textile designs. By working and connecting with the natural environment, she explored the use of natural dyes, rain, snow and ice cubes. Focusing on sustainability, Kelly is using this nature led process to help in the reduction of water wastage, pollution and global emissions and promote the use of eco-friendly and natural dyeing.
Kelly completed her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Textiles for Fashion and Interiors at the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham, where she developed a collection of screen and digitally printed, hand dyed and ice dyed textile designs.
