I am a textile designer specialising in CAD embroidery and hand beading, creating intricate surfaces that combine technical precision with creative design. Inspired by the textures, colours and organic forms found in nature, I transform natural elements into contemporary textile designs rich in detail and movement. Through a balance of digital innovation and traditional embellishment techniques, I develop unique pieces that celebrate both creativity and craftsmanship. My designs reflect an appreciation of the natural world, drawing inspiration from landscapes, sea life and botanical structures. My practice showcases a refined approach to textile design, blending modern technology with hand-finished artistry.
For my Final Major Project, I decided to base my theme on the textures and patterns found in tropical flowers. This project is tailored towards the context of high-end evening dresses and I used techniques like CAD embroidery, hand embellishments and digital prints.
Plans after degree
After graduating, I want to go and work in the bridal industry. I want to work in a high-end bridal shop, specialising in beading and embroidery onto unique and bespoke bridal dresses. I will start out by working in a local bridal shop, working as an assistant for fittings or appointments, to hopefully gain enough experience to go and work in London in the creative side of the industry.
