I am a level 6 textile design student specialising in mixed media and embellishment techniques. I focus on designing for fashion and accessories, where I enjoy combining digital print and embroidery techniques to create something unique and innovative.
The Lost Meadow is a mixed media textile collection created for high-end couture womenswear for Spring/Summer. Inspired by the Devon meadows that I have grown up visiting from a young age, I wanted to create a project that would allow me to explore and represent the loss of biodiversity and habitats in the Devon countryside. Through experimenting with a wide variety of textile techniques, such as CAD embroidery, digital print, hand beading and manipulation, I have produced a range of fashion textiles which represent the Devon meadows that I have taken inspiration from.
House of Cards is a high-end womenswear collection inspired by playing cards, chess and armour. This theme not only inspires the imagery used throughout this collection, but also the structure and form of the final outcomes. This collection allowed me to showcase a wide variety of mixed media textile techniques whilst still creating a cohesive collection.
