About me
Hello! I am an MDes surface pattern design graduate of 2021. I have previously undertaken a number of opportunities in collaboration with my university and interned for a print studio in Pembrokeshire, where my work was taken to Premiere Vision. I have also recently completed a freelance project to design prints for a start-up womenswear brand. I am currently looking for more opportunities, both freelance and full-time - pop me a message!
Projects
  • Monochromatic Florals | Patternbank Brief
    Monochromatic Florals | Patternbank BriefI created a womenswear collection for heavier fashion substrates such as leather, corduroy and velvet for a brief completed within my MDes year at university. I created a set of six patterns in a limited colour palette over the course of the UK lockdown. I was then chosen to be put forward as a contender for the competition by my university.
  • 'Wildflowers and Light' Final Major Project | Print for Fashion
    'Wildflowers and Light' Final Major Project | Print for FashionA print for fashion collection created during my third year of university during lockdown. The collection explores the relationship between wildflowers and light in order to benefit wellbeing.
