About me

A young, contemporary textiles designer, seeking work experience in the field of embroidered and embellished textile design for use in fashion. A very hard-working, creative individual who possesses a basic fascination of colour, texture, pattern and form and is skilled in the processes of textile design from drawing and design development, through to practical embroidery skills and application. My particular interest lies in the inventive use of embroidery and surface embellishment to challenge the traditional role of stitch and create textiles that innovate. Work thus far has endeavored to combine established craft techniques such as hand embroidery, beading, fabric manipulation with current computer software and CAD technology, to create textiles that respect traditional methods and practices but have a contemporary context. Looking to offer committed service and to build positive relations with like-minded individuals with a passion and talent for creating innovative textiles, within the fashion sector. Currently working in London, studying a BA course at the London College of Fashion, whilst building my own personal brand, I am willing and able to be flexible with working hours. Looking to work with organisations interested in surface texture and design in addition to embellishment and embroidery techniques.
