The reason I decided to do the BA Hons Textile Design started at GCSE level. At the start of the 2 years of Art and Design GCSE I thought I wasn’t good enough compared to everyone but with encouragement from family and friends my artistic skills grew stronger and I improved so much that by the end of the 2 year GCSE level I received the Art and Design award in my year in both campuses. I was over the moon and knew that I had a gift in Art and should take it further because it was the only subject I enjoyed but I did not think of going to University at this time as I didn’t think university was for artists but just for really smart intellectual people. I then did a BTEC National Diploma in Art and Design and further developed my skills by learning and developing new techniques. It was through these two years that I enjoyed Textiles as an art and was encouraged to create wall hangings and create fashion accessories. So I wanted to study textiles further and was encouraged to decide if I wanted to study it further in University. Then after open days and interviews I came to Derby University and so far I have developed a strong passion in fashion and I want to create samples in textiles suited to fashion.
My dream job would be altering garments preferably 2nd hand and revamping them to suit the current trend and reusing clothing to help save the environment which I'm very much serious about. I would love to have my own business with people to help me with the financial and business aspect of it. But in an ideal world I think I’d be more suited to a company where I would work in a specific area maybe in design and recreating the garments.
