About me _____

A NTU Fashion Knitwear student

I am a specialist knitwear designer with experience being a design and production assistant. My style is bold and vibrant with strong defined shapes being the key push for my design and this has been explored in my FMP collection. This then led me to be a runner up for the GFW Ellesse competition where one of my designs has been manufactured and made.

During my studies at Nottingham Trent, I wanted to gain more knowledge in design and the CAD technical side with my creative design. This led me to undertake a year- long placement with Chinti and Parker where this placement helped me to focus in on CAD design and more of the production side of the industry. My time at university has helped me to gain a wide appreciation for design with digital art that is now a key use in my creative practice that has now become my passion.

Metallic androids- a modern reimagining of androids

My collection explores the interaction between androids and humans, examining how these two entities influence and manipulate each other in shaping visual concepts. Drawing inspiration from historical depictions of androids and how their perception has evolved over time, the project bridges the gap between past futuristic visions and our present reality.

My work envisions how androids might exist in today's world, with a strong emphasis on metallic textures, patterns, and reflective surfaces. The colour palette is guided by the structured aesthetics of the grid and the influence of art movements, reinforcing the futuristic theme. Historically, androids have often been imagined as metallic beings, and this concept is central to my project, reinterpreting those classic visions through a contemporary lens.
