Passionate, commercially minded designer with experience in both business in the UK and Europe.
Final Project
Fish Are Friends
During my final project I made fabrics that provoke thoughts of the oceans and ocean life, by using materials that harm both. Cotton using an obscene amount of water to farm, drying up seas in the process. Ghost gear (discarded or lost fishing equipment) that has been washed up on beaches, which is also deadly to ocean life. I explored the positive effects the ocean has on our mental health, whilst making an ironic statement about how we decorate our homes using materials that destroy the habitat of ocean life.
