My creative processes are heavily influenced by personal experiences surrounding books, fairytales and the natural world. This is most prominent in my Final Major Project ‘The Long Way Home’, through which I became interested in using these influences to create a safe, accessible space for young people dealing with anxiety. My aim is to further educate myself and others on inclusive clothing, and continue designing for groups who may feel overlooked by the fashion industry, in particular the neurodivergent and queer communities alongside those struggling with their mental health.
