About

Currently a full time third year student studying Fashion and Textiles Design at De Montfort University specialising in print and hoping to begin a career in the creative industry. As a designer I’m drawn towards interesting texture and subtle patterns. I valuehaving an environment where i am free to be creative and pushed to develop. I believe that everyone should be in a constant state of learning, however much expereince you have.

The initial concept for this project was the relationship between land and sea, salt and fluidity versus solidity. Naturally, this evolved and became more focused on restriction and the feeling of being submerged or trapped, but the ongoing themes of hard and soft remained as well as certain aesthetics linking back to the ocean. Much of the textiles in this project was multi media, with crocheting with rope, the creation of bio plastics and the use of latex on leather being the most exciting developments.
