Happy New Year!

Well what a year 2008 has been...graduating from Notts Trent, then the exhibitions came - New Designers which was very hot, Design for Business Advantage which was very posh, and Making the Future II which was a de ja vu back at Uni. And then the Technical Textiles Competition which was fab, I was pleased to even make it to the final so hats off to those that won! I was amazed by a talking glove - they use it in space apparently... textile fabulous!

August through to October saw me working away at Monsoon Accessorize then onto Ted Baker for some work experience within Menswear - I designed amongst other things some prints for swim shorts, mens swim shorts how about that! The christmas months of November and December I was loving being in the heart of Soho working at Liberty of London, muchos inspiration working with their legendary beautiful prints.... and so this has lead me to 2009! A year in which I am persuing a more interior focus as my passion is mega print onto things of an interior nature such as wallpaper and textiles.

Other aims for this shiney fresh new year include launching my hand-made card business along with an application to the Biennale of Young Artists 2009. This event will be held in Macedonia and Notts Trent have put forward my name to apply - which I have done! Hopefully hear how that goes soon as I am excited about going to Macedonia!! Also 2009 will be the year I hopefully realise my destiny or just a small clue of it as I plug away with more work placements and deciding whether I should do an MA.... your thoughts welcome thankyou. Over and out - for now!
