Print is a speciality in which I would like to advance in. My passion has led me to researching and studying the ways which a simple print design can be manipulated in so many ways. During my second year, I have acquired skills and qualities which were highlighted in a recent interiors project “Morphology”. I was engrossed in developing drawings, from still life photos, and designing a fresh colour palette which allowed for a good foundation, leading to an organic and complimentary wallpaper collection known as “Exhale”. I took away the understanding of how much time and precision goes into hand printed wallpapers, giving me a new appreciation for this type of work. It fascinates and motivates me to push myself, expand my skills to see what I am capable of. This is a career which I feel I belong in and by working with experienced individuals I feel it would aid me into becoming the best version of myself.
