Since graduating with a Bachelor of Communication Design & Textile Design from RMIT University, I have gained a strong theoretical and practical knowledge of graphic and textile design. I have received a Bachelor of Communication Design and most recently a Bachelor of Textile Design, both from RMIT University.
My studies in both courses have allowed me the opportunity to blend digital and traditional methods of printmaking, illustration, weave, knit and surface pattern design. I consider myself to be a multi-disciplined designer with a broad range of digital and hand-generated skills.
Drawing from feminine inspirations and various illustrative methods, I aim to create work with a delicate hand and often use natural, organic elements for inspiration.
