About
I am a surface print and pattern designer, specialising in furnishing design. My prints and patterns are designed for upholstery fabrics and home furnishings. Inspired by geometric shape found within architecture and heritage. My work is often inspired by Bradford's textile heritage taking colour and shape inspiration from mill architecture and industrial machinery. My work uses weaving in a traditional and contemporary sense, creating digital concepts using the traditional use of warp and weft. As well as weaving and dyeing wool felt for acoustic solutions. Working closely with the The Society of Dyers and Colourists to explore their archive for colour inspiration.
An exploration into colour within interior furnishings. Creating a colour palette using a sample box from the SDC archive in Bradford. A continued exploration into my secondary graduate collection Digital Weave. Creating physical furnishing products from start to finish, from designing fabrics, to choosing chairs and finishes. Creating custom and sustainable furnishings from reclaimed furniture. This project was made possible due to funding from The Society of Dyers and Colourists.
