About Me

Hi, I'm a Fashion Textiles designer specialising in digital embroidery

My work is inspired by childhood nostalgia and femininity, mixed with the feelings associated with ageing from girlhood into adulthood.

I love to experiment with digital embroidery to create new materials, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.

INSPIRATION

For this project, I looked at childhood nostalgia and comfort.

One of the biggest comfort foods from my childhood is cake. As a young girl, cake was saved for special occasions like birthday parties which made it all the more thrilling. It’s exciting colourful icing and magnificent stacked tiers make it one of my fondest memories.

From studying the shapes, colours and textures of icing, I have created a textile collection using digital embroidery to show the wonder and excitement of being a child. I have combined this with a muted colour pallete with lots of black to integrate girlhood with coming-of-age.
