I am a hardworking and enthusiastic person. I am interested in people
and other cultures and have spent some years travelling and working abroad. I
believe these experiences have rounded me as a person and have made me aware of
what I want out of life. I know what I want to accomplish in my career and will
strive to achieve this through hard-work and determination. Through taking time
out before coming to university it has enabled me to grow in confidence and
able to handle new situations well. I am a creative individual who is motivated
by a passion for surface design. I can work confidently on my own as well as
part of a team. I specialise in print designs for furnishing fabrics, combining
a mixture of print and fabric manipulation techniques to produce innovative and
high quality pieces. I have good communication skills and am a quick learner. I
love designing and printing and am eager to learn more.
I am now working on my Final Major Project which is based on a
self-written concept titled ‘Endo-Exo’. The trend brings together the
linear qualities of skeletal structures and stronger, bolder imagery of
surfaces that protect. The initial ideas came through observational drawing of
natural objects such as bones, leaf skeletons, shielded insects, bird feathers
and fish scales alongside manmade items such as electricity pylons,
scaffolding, wood sculptures and bound objects. There is
an emphasis on texture which will be followed through to final designs through
experimentation with marking making and drawing styles. Printing methods will
be combined with other techniques such as laser cutting and pleating to create
depth and interest. The colour palette sees the use of rich brights such as
deep emerald green, dark navy blue, full bodied red and orange, these will be
brought together with a paler palette consisting of tonal greys, mint green and
soft coral pink.
