3rd year BA (Hons) Textile Design student, studying at The Arts University Bournemouth. Specialising in stitch and digital print for fashion.
Inspired by the American painter, Robert Kushner, this collection displays a mix of organic motifs and geometric structures, with some underlying Paisley influences. Brought to life through CAD embroidery, crochet and digital print, the designs aim to capture a playful and cheerful spirit — suited for Runway (Spring / Summer 2025).
Based on Madeline Miller’s story retelling, my Major Project centres around the mythological character of Circe: a minor goddess and witch born from Helios (the sun God) and Perse (the Oceanid nymph). Examining Circe’s journey of self-discovery, transformation and defiance against societal constraints, my designs aim to translate her mythological essence through the themes of nature, culture, power and femininity - [seasonal focus of Autumn / Winter 2025].
