Ruth Lloyd ?
I am a versatile, ambitious, and hard working designer who aims to create innovative and original surface pattern designs with a strong emphasis on the process of screen-printing.
Inspiration for design work comes from visual research into other cultures, with a specific focus on indigenous peoples and ethnic communities.
