About
Imaginative and passionate Textiles and Surface Design graduate skilled in Adobe Photoshop, Procreate and hand rendered drawing/painting. Aiming to revive styles of vintage patterns and explosions of colour in the industry.
“Coquette Memphis” is a contemporary and avant-garde concept in which it combines an internet aesthetic and an artist movement from the 1980's into one maximalist design collection for a design-led market – Coquette and Memphis. Coquette-core's characteristics are seen as highly feminine, nostalgia and romance led compared to Memphis design, in which its colour palette, graphics and patterns intentionally clash in a playful yet chaotic way. In this surface design collection, contrast and bold colours allow for each painterly and non-pictorial motif to align with another, making it seem whimsical yet decorative.
