Edible stemmed from a passion for textiles, a love of food and an acknowledgment of the necessity of sustainable design practices. This collection of table linen looked at kitchen waste as a creative opportunity, utilizing natural dyes to colour cloth. Dyes were extracted from potential waste such as beetroot leaves, walnut shells and onion skins then overlaid with screen printed imagery also based on edible botanicals.

This conceptual project explores the theme of “organic robotic.” Looking at automated functions within the human body, such as thermoregulation, textiles showcase patterning inspired by the complex structure of blood vessels within the skin, layering techniques of digital printing and technologies such as responsive dyes and laser cutting in unique combinations.

This body of work was developed as part of a RMIT + GM Holden collaboration. The experimental surfaces and structures are intended for a forward thinking automotive application. The project theme was biomimicry and pattern develop as well as the movement in the structures relates to organic functions.

A conceptual furniture product, CUBED addresses a theme of adaptive living spaces. Inspired by the innovative use of space in densely populated communities, this modular piece aims to enable living, working and resting within a compact area. Triplets of hinged panels allow for the creation of multiple compositions and in turn a range of purposes.

This hand printed silk fabric features a sweeping design layering illustrations of the Australian Native Grevillea.

This scarf was developed using onion skin dyes and colour transfer. The concept behind the piece is to create a new identity, in this instance the onion skins are transformed into a covering of a different kind.
