I am currently a final year student studying BA Hons Textile Design at Nottingham Trent University, specialising in woven textiles.
Within my practice I often focus on how barriers and stereotypes can be broken down to create a more accepting society where everyone feels accepted and able to portray their individuality- which i often explore through fashion. My work is often bringing together texture and vibrant colours to create exciting, playful, performative collections hoping to uplift the viewers mood as much as who it is designed for. Textural surfaces interest me within my work bringing an interactive, tactile element to the fabrics that I design and make. Throughout my three years at university I have experimented with many textile elements such as knit, mixed media approaches, projection, embroidery, CAD designs and print which is another favourite of mine.
