Could you tell us a bit about your process in developing your patterns and how much time is put into a finished design? I also finish my MA this summer so making the most of the final few months, planning future collections and growth for my business. It’s been a busy few months since last Fall, I’ve been working on a range of client projects which has varied from wallpaper, plant pots to Christmas baubles! I have a trade show in May and I’m developing new additions to range for that. In 2013 I went freelance and started designing for a wider range of products, sold designs via print studios, and have steadily been growing my own product range. I worked on domestic and contract ranges, alongside designing for client commissions for various hospitality and retail projects. I graduated from Textile Design at Birmingham City University in 2008 and got a job as wallpaper designer for a manufacturer. I’m a freelance surface pattern designer and have my own brand of botanical inspired fashion and home accessories, as well as gifts and stationery. ![]() Can you remind us of your design background and tell us a little about what you’ve been up to since your last interview this past fall?
