What a week it’s been at New Designers! It was such an exciting week with winning the New Designers Sanderson Award, as well as the many great opportunities that were offered throughout the show.
Talking to WGSN and industry professionals about my work.
One of the first prints I completed for the Final Major Project, inspiration came from 17th Century Dutch still lifes, in particular the work of Willem Van Aelst. I loved the intricate detail and realness of the flowers, with the dark, moody backgrounds bringing the colour to life.
