A Surface Pattern and Textile Designer
Creative CV
Professional Summary
I am a recent graduate from a multidisciplinary Surface Pattern and Textiles programme currently working as a freelance fashion illustrator for Looch fashion magazine. My interests largely sit with print and pattern, illustration, collaborative projects, and building experience within the fashion industry. As a dedicated, enthusiastic, and motivated individual, I feel I would benefit from the hands-on experience on offer and would appreciate your consideration in helping me to achieve my goals. I’m hoping to undertake collaborative and individual projects and improve my skill set by doing something that fuels my creativity.
​
One of my passions is emotional well-being and awareness of this topic. Mental well-being and self-expression are concepts that underpin my practice. My interest in design derives from using various image-making techniques as forms of self-expression. It’s a freeing way to explore yourself and express it with pride.
I want to bring this idea forward; be that on a garment through placement prints, within a collection via a colour story, or in-home interiors through illustration. I am driven by creating and producing work to people who feel connected to it.
