I am currently studying Textiles at Arts University Bournemouth. My work focuses on soft and hard furnishing for interior spaces, using handcrafted techniques to create my pieces.
'Wirral Walks' is a bespoke interiors collection inspired by textures, shapes and colours found within imagery I have taken on walks around my hometown on The Wirral. My intention for this project was to highlight two concepts that bring me calm and joy, walking and crafted textiles; translating this through my collection. I aimed to highlight the importance of handcrafted textiles as it possesses a personal quality to textile products that is currently being lost within the textile industry, exploring the importance of slow textiles. I have used high quality materials to achieve this collection, such as British wools, off cut oak and birch wood and monkswool cloth, to ensure my project was eco-friendly. Contextual research is an important part of my project, as well as drawing development and trial sampling, focusing on techniques such as lasering, knitting, weaving, hand painting, to highlight my strength in handcrafted textile design.
'Exploration of Summer’ is a project that explores French areas, architecture and florals, using a bright, summery colour palette for a Spring/Summer 2026 fashion accessories collection. I have used techniques such as knitting, crochet, laser, macrame and CAD embroidery to create my pieces. I focused on producing key chains for bags, bag handles, scarfs and bags for this collection. The project explores the combination of illustrative drawings and block shape design, to create balance; providing smaller details for key chains and larger patterns for scarfs and bags. The images below demonstrate the samples and visualisations.
