About
Hello! I am a recent graduate from Leeds Arts university completing a degree in BA (Hons) Textile design! About me as a designer:I specialise in a range of different concepts, from hand painted florals to digital geometrics, allowing me to have the ability to be a dynamic and flexible designer who can adapt to many different approaches within design. The intentions behind my work is to evoke feelings of joy and happiness, particularly through colour. I hold a strong belief that design should be used to benefit mental health and wellbeing.My work is driven by observation and the spaces that surround me, as well as working closely alongside trends and aligning myself with the current markets. I have a keen eye for colour, primarily striking, bold palettes are the driving force behind my ideas and design choices. I can also work with both traditional/hand drawn methods, specifically gouache, as well as being particularly confident in using CAD programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Fresco. Being a versatile designer, I am able to adapt to many different consumers and markets, whilst also being experimental within my own design style.
‘Maximal Abundance’ celebrates maximalist design, moving away from minimalism to create stimulating, conversation-starting patterns that evoke excitement and joy. This collection features three iconic concepts; hand-painted gouache florals, bold geometric shapes, and blurred watercolour animal prints. The juxtaposed patterns find harmony through a cohesive colour palette. Electric lime greens complement galactic navy blues, whilst bubble-gum pinks harmonise with neutral pale yellows. Balancing neutrals, brights, and mid-tones, Maximal Abundance offers a vibrant, seamless clash of patterns.
