rosehilldesignsblog: POTENTIAL

POTENTIAL a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed. It's an interesting point we leave University and we have bags of the stuff does it leave us or nearing 30 are we meant to have reached it?? I think I still have loads of potential left in me, it's funny I'm almost 30 and feeling a little old but I feel like my career is just starting in some ways... it is in its young days lots more exciting stuff to come!! I'm carving my career like us all in creative industry we have to find our way.... It's not a straight path like other jobs for example an accountant they study, get a job at entry level and do more exams yes there are a few avenues to go but really they have a path whereas we creatives have endless opportunities some things we wouldn't even have dreamed of.

Take me for insistent I left Chelsea University with a first class BA Hons in digital printed textiles.

I spent the 1st year after doing commissions for some very exciting people like Charles Saatchi, Charlie Allen and Amanda Elisach, also working with Emma Newberg as an art assistant and the 1st work of art for almost 3 years and teaching art to some cool kids there father is Franc Roddam director of Quadrophenia film and there Mother Carina Cooper food writer.

I then went on to do print and girls wear garment design for WOOLWORTHS Plc for 2 years and lived in Australia and designed Ladies wear prints and garments for MYER for another 2 years having a cool commission on the side doing a whole brand identity for a confectionery store in New Zealand Treat, JR Duty free.

Now I'm back to what I LOVE doing commissions Irina Parsina, Chloe Fowler, Razor Research, Cotton and Hobbs, The Enterprise etc. and free-lance design work for the likes of Yumi, Uttam Kids, Ted Baker at Debenhams, Abigail Ahern, Lemon Ribbon swatch company.

I'm loving every minute of the twist and turns and getting to know myself better as a designer/ artist and person. Very exciting times!! Just know you are on the right path if you are enjoying what you are doing then you definitely are!! We live once you may as well make the most of it!!
