GROWTH

Growth is a textile collection inspired by my personal growth as a designer, as well as the natural beauty of the tropics around the world, from the Bahamas to India. I find that my work as a designer is often inspired by natural elements, such as flowers and animals. I feel that by looking at tropical locations around the world, I can pull inspiration from both the local flora and fauna, as well as traditional textile methods used in the region. Throughout my time at NC State, I have enjoyed the many textile design methods I have explored. However, I have a strong interest in digital printing, industrial weaving, and dyeing. I plan to emphasize these methods through this collection. I hope to instill a sense of serenity one would feel in the tropics through this collection while continuing to stay true to my maximalist design sense. This collection will feature ten textile products, which will be displayed at Talley Student Union in April of 2024. Below you will find my inspiration board, showcase layout plan, and main color pallet.
