I have just graduated from Loughborough University with a BA Hons in Fine Art where I discovered my love for embroidery art.
Whilst studying I won several awards, alongside being a Uk representative for a book ‘Protests for Progress’ which was published with aims to improve the lives of minorities across the world. Alongside, being chosen and included in high-profile museums exhibitions for several months.
I also did voluntary work for Enactus which included designing prosthetics for third world countries. I needed to create affordable products but also follow intricate designs that would be approved medically. It also included creating other amputee aid products, which involved organising a startup business alongside having to reach deadlines fluidly within a group in order to successful. Overall, our work was successful as we reached the Enactus international finals.
Previous to this I studied my textiles foundation at Truro College where I graduated top of my year.
