Resume/CV
With interest in understanding fabrics that give purpose to a space and have the ability to influence those who interact with the material; combining these values with immediate surroundings. I am eager to learn how these ideas apply in different contexts, through the observation of imagery and handling of material. Looking for a part time or freelance textile design or artist opportunity.
