About me

I am a recent Textile design graduate specialising in hand embroidery. I am passionate about traditional crafts and embroidery techniques and love working with my hands, so I try to find ways of keeping traditional skills alive by introducing them to my practise in an interesting contemporary way. I have a vast experience in working with people and I am not afraid to take on new challenges. I am looking to start my career as a freelancer or an intern where I could continue developing my technical and professional skills.
