Graduate Struggles...

On Wednesday I had a portfolio viewing with a design company in Stafford. I was really pleased to find out about a design house so close to where I live and when I looked at their website I loved what they did! The company mainly focuses on interiors and designs surface pattern for fabrics, curtains, ceramics, wall tiles and lots more. The team all seemed really friendly and they were based in a really quirky design studio in an old abattoir. 
After showing them my portfolio, I have been offered a one day a week placement. I'm really excited to start with them on Tuesday and show them what I can do. Ive been asked to do a bit of painting and drawing in the next few days,so im going to get started with some florals today...

We ♥ Handmade...

So after a lot of money being spent on my degree show and all the hard work that went into making these products, I figured, why not sell them.

All products are Limited Edition, Tea towels start at £14.99 each. Please feel free to email me for details...

Its been a long time...

Hi...wow its been a while since my last post, and lots has happened! I managed to get all my final show up and away, exhibited at New Designers, lots of job offers and placements from that! I also started an internship with the British Museum, which unfortunately I had to give up because of funding. I am currently back at home in Shropshire after achieving a 2:1 degree in Textile Surface Design. At the moment i am looking for work here and in the surrounding area, which is proving harder than I expected!

Here are a few images from things I have been doing over the past few months...
