This blog is too enable people to view and witness the engagement I have with textiles and tactile surfaces. I nourish in the richness of print design for both Fashion and Interior design. I find great satisfaction in trialing surfaces against design specifications, a colaberation of a complex print against a simplistic metal, wood or fabric. I use visionary stimulus to generate visual concepts and design productivity. I print these, I place these, I take the journey and re-write the image that is placed in front of me with its own signiture that it is destined to endure. Through weaving and the placement of materials, I can produce contrasts of heavy and light, strong and weak. This process allows the piece to take on its own identity and to be 'dressed' for the part/occasion.

Show Time
Degree Show and New Designers Workings... A liitle late on the update, but better late than never.... Enjoy.
I am a practising Textile Designer. Mainly interested in print design, and surfaces.
I like to work from a primary source, such as an image I have captured, I re-work the image into a print design. I then print the design onto a fabric or asthetic that I feel works, i can then re-work the image if I feel it needs it.
I like the idea of a process and a stage element to my work.
I have become more concerned about placement and visual implications throughout my studying at University.
I have learned the value of time and consistency.
I enjoy working on small pieces and large alike.
I have a great interest in tonal values, this runs from my work to my clothing and my home.
I am a passionate individual, whom believes in great balance, from that of working to living.
