School of Fashion and Textiles

For me, it is a way of telling the story. I love when I can feel a fabric or I can touch it and I can sense something. I feel like textiles are the way of telling my story because it's not just a degree where I'm creating my work, but it's more of a lifestyle. I really love what I do. 

I think it focuses a lot on how you have to develop your work up to that stage where you're then able to use it to get work and get a job.

For me was a way of bringing my characters to life. It allowed me to have the opportunity to create what I imagined in some sense.

My passion is the creating of different work. I really enjoy that aspect of textiles. 

The prints that I've done are inspired by the graffiti art that was showcased literally everywhere around Birmingham. If I heard someone say Birmingham, that is the most important thing. 

Having this exhibition is an amazing opportunity and I think it's very important. It just depends on you as a designer. I feel like having this exhibition is like a bonus point because you never know who comes to see your work. 

It's like on the opening night of there's a bunch of industry professionals that came to have a look and then there was awards. So it's that stepping block into talking about your work. 

Looking back at it now, BCU has developed skills that I've already learnt for sure, giving me new skills to be confident in myself. 

Because my story is all about, Hey, listen to me. You know, when people said, Hey, I understand your story. I really love what you've made, but that's more than enough for me. 

No one knows what the future is going to be, but my main goal is to go out into the industry and explore different routes and find where I'm feeling comfortable. I have no idea, but I'm always going to be the same. I'm going to be the weird kid drawing in the corner.
