Winchester School of Art

I will graduate from the Winchester School of Art's textile design program in July 2025. I am genuinely interested in concepts related to sustainability and use them abundantly in my work, from the choice of yarns to design concepts. In my latest project my theme is the symbiotic relationship between fungi and trees, in which I make extensive use of sustainable materials such as silk and wool and recycle discarded fabrics for reuse in my work. In this project I am not only thinking about the symbiotic relationship, but I am also reflecting on the relationship between humans and nature in today's society through this relationship.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
