I originally wanted to be a painter but found I enjoyed problem solving within design and began drawing with a purpose. I stumbled across fashion design on my foundation course and the mix of life drawing and 3D design was the perfect combination. I love the control that comes with designing knitwear, once the yarn is selected, everything else is up to me. The gauge, tension, process, is all carefully thought through, sampled, redesigned and then calculated in the final garment. By taking the yarn and creating my own 'fabric,' everything about the process is mine.
