About me

Hello! I am currently a surface pattern design student studying my MDes, due to graduate in 2021. I have previously undertaken a number of opportunities and live briefs within University. Most recently I was shortlisted for a live brief with Patternbank. Whilst also studying I have freelanced for Intaglio Creative creating a collection of bespoke tile designs.
