Staffordshire University

I'm Isabella Clarke, a passionate designer who blends bold colour, playful charm, and thoughtful detail to create vibrant, unique work with purpose. My design approach is rooted in creativity and sustainability, ensuring every piece, whether digital or physical, is both visually impactful and environmentally conscious. I’ve gained valuable experience in the field through self-sourced work placements, allowing me to explore various industries and adapt my skills across fashion, interiors, and more. No matter the brief, I bring energy, adaptability, and a planet-friendly mindset to every project. I believe great design should feel joyful while also making a difference, and I’m dedicated to building a creative practice that’s as responsible as it is inspiring.

Symphony of the Sea

Category: Interior

Competitions: Home Competition 2025

A riot of colour. A cry for help. *Symphony of the Sea* is not just a collection—it’s a bold, urgent call to remember what we’ve lost and what still hangs in the balance. It roars with vivid hues, fierce brushstrokes, and raw emotion, refusing to be ignored. This series resurrects the dazzling beauty of coral reefs—not as they are now, but as they once flourished, and as they desperately *could* thrive again. Each piece pulses with dynamic energy, fluid textures, and movement that capture the ocean’s untamed spirit—a world alive with sound, life, and colour. Yet that symphony is unravelling. Bleached reefs, vanishing species, and poisoned waters threaten to silence this once-vibrant masterpiece. But this collection fights back—fiery, defiant, and filled with urgency. Draped in coral pinks and deep ultramarines, these prints weave together sorrow, resistance, and hope. They demand to be seen, felt, and reckoned with—challenging us to confront the brutal truth of our changing planet through haunting beauty that lingers long after the eye looks away.
