About me
I am an emerging textile designer, focusing my work on printed textiles. Having recently graduated from Ulster University with a first class honours in Textile Art, Design and Fashion, I have a fresh knowledge and approach to a variety of textile specialisms.
My specialism is printed textiles, having experience in both digital and screen printing techniques. Alongside these expertise I have extensive experience in machine embroidery and an understanding of weave, knit and garment construction.
I have extremely strong Photoshop skills, of which i use to create my unique printed textiles, most often used for an interior setting.
