Currently studying my MA in Fashion Knitwear at Nottingham Trent. I will complete this course in July 2022 and am looking for a full-time knitwear role after this date.
I graduated from my BA in Textile Design, specialising in knitted textiles, from Nottingham Trent University in 2021.
I have experience using Shima, Clo 3D and knitting on dubied and domestic machines. I enjoy working with bright colours and innovative knit techniques to create designs which bring fun and joy to the customer. I am also passionate about sustainability; I wrote my dissertation on how emotional durability can be used to encourage slow fashion practices and am continuing to explore sustainable design through my MA work.
