About
With a BA (Honours) 2:1 in Textile Design from the University of Derby, I have a variety of essential print design skills. Educated in silk-screen and digital printed textiles I can design prints for rotary screen or digital Mimaki printing. Furthermore, by being proficient in Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator CS6 and Wacom graphic tablets for MAC or PC, I can create a range of patterns from all over, placement, half drop and mirror. Additional skills lay in my abilities to produce themed moodboards from a variety of global key trends to translate in to commercial designs for fashion and work on multiple projects at one time.
Personally, I am organised with a focused manner that compliments my passion and excitement for printed fabrics for fashion. I am visually creative and own a versatile handwriting within my drawings by mainly hand drawing before digitally manipulating the outcomes.
Experience in retail means I can work as part of a strong team to create successful outcomes, able to strongly communicate, work in a fast paced environment and the competency to adapt my roles.
I am interested in a new experience to grow as a designer and a role that motivates my desire to push myself in a strong working environment, where people share my drive and enthusiasm.
