Studio InternImogen Heath
- Brighton, United KingdomInternship
Whilst at Imogen Heath I assisted on a photo shoot - creating textured backdrops and props and assisted with the layout and composition of the fabrics to help the photographers get the right shot. Additionally I fulfilled customer orders, and was responsible for the correct dispatch of the fabrics - from cutting large pieces of fabric accurately to producing overlocked sample swatches to dispatch to potential customers. Other work included managing stock, organising and keeping the studio clean.

Awards
Romo Live CompetitionNTU School of Art & Design
For the Romo Live Competition, my team worked together to produce ‘Petalis’, an interior collection with a distinct mix of print, weave and embroidery, based upon the theme of cycles and life cycles within plants and nature. As a result of the high level of creativity and high standard of the work, our team won the competition and I was fortunate to be offered a placement.
