What I enjoyed most about the course was the practical element to be able to explore a topic or theme by manipulating materials for your desired audience. To see and be a part of the whole process start to finish is a real luxury which there is limited opportunity to do so when you are in the textile industry.
Final year was my favourite where I could bring my passions for environment and mental health awareness to the forefront of my design process, enabling two well thought through collections which has since been exhibited in several exhibitions and solo exhibitions.
What I would say to someone considering this course is that if you are unsure of what career to take but would like to be in the creative industry this course is the most diverse which will lead to endless exciting opportunities. You will gain prolific skill set within design, digital design and research which can be applied to any aspect within industry, making you a more rounded designer and therefore most sort after.
