I am currently studying at Cleveland College of Art & Design undertaking a BA(Hons)Textiles & Surface Design degree. My work is a cross between interiors and gift; I love to create exciting cushions designs and gift related products. The media’s I use within my work are fineliners, watercolours and different styles of pencils; this comes from my love of illustration. For my FMP I am producing a collection of digitally printed and screen printed cushions with hints of embroidery. My theme has dramatically evolved since beginning FMP, my first initial idea being Native America. I took the idea of Native America and how it is hidden away from society and brought it into modern times. I am currently working on a collection that looks at ‘Hidden Teesside’, looking at old forgotten buildings and playing around with the textures.

I am a North East based under graduate studying a BA Hons in Textiles and Surface Design at CCAD. I specialise in surface design for interiors and I am focusing on creating intriguing designs for wallpapers. I am a talented, eager and committed designer. I have innovative ideas, an eye for colour and a strong sense of originality within all my designs. I consider myself to be well organised, professionally presented designer with a fresh talent and a lot of career potential.

 

For my Final Major Project I have come up with a concept which discusses and involves the ever narrowing divide between nature and science. Botany is a discipline of biology which explores the science of plant life; I have always had a keen interest in intricate botanical studies and how they show the process and the parts of a plant not just the outside structure people tend to only see. Botany Creativity explores the idea of function and how a natural form has to fight to operate alone without the help of man and the science forced upon us. I will highlight how our interference and manipulation with nature could destroy the natural workings of our world and create a biologically imbalanced future. Within my work I will display the intelligence of a living plant against the industrial works of today.
