New Designers

Last week I was at New Designers with the other Surface Pattern and Textile Surfaces students who had chosen to go.

It was a great experience, and very successful!

Was lovely to talk to people about my work and get some great feedback about what I have produced at my time at University. I think the experience is invaluable in terms of meeting people, making contacts in the industry and practising talking to strangers about your work!

It has definitely helped me!

Now University is all finished (apart from Graduation on the 12th July!) I am doing some placements, competitions and maybe some freelance work if I can squeeze it all in, I like to keep myself busy!

Here are a few snaps I took whilst at New Designers:

Arts Thread Portfolio For New Designers

My page now has all my work uploaded. Might put some more on yet but all the most recent 3rd year work I have done is on there.

Hopefully this will bring some interest in what I have done and capable of doing in the future!

It can be found here:

But these are a few screen shots of what the page looks like and what I have put on there.

Putting Together A Portfolio

Last week I found out I had an interview, great news, but scary at the same time!

I spent quite a few days preparing my portfolio, selecting what to put in it (very difficult!) and mounting everything up. I also did research about the company, where the products are sold, the names of ranges and certain pieces that I liked, you never know what the questions might be!

This was my first proper interview so it was hard to know what a company would expect to see, so I opted for a bit of everything!
