My university has a popular textile program and one of the things that I learned from my friends in the program was how wide and varied the field is. One girl I knew was working on improving the 'fabric' on the outside of tennis balls. It was pretty cool!
Thanks for shedding some light on your process- the notes about reinventing your popular designs and creating collections instead of pounding out a bunch of completely different designs are great advice.
This sounds so exciting! Have so many questions, as I am a graphic and web designer thinking of learning textile design, just not sure where to start. Thanks so much for the video!
Wonderful! Started designing textiles in the 90"s after getting a degree in Textile Art in Canada. Just as I was on a roll and forming a business, I had a major injury, so had to put all that on hold until recently, so very excited to hear your story. Hope to have a successful story to tell on youtube in 5 years, like you!
Wow! Where in Canada, Christine? I used to live right in the heart of the fashion district of downtown Toronto, never knew there is a Textile Art school:) best of luck on your reinvention!
Hi! I am Ashwin.. Am pursuing Bachelor of Fashion Technology and its my final year.. And Textile designing is one of my favorite subject.. We use CAD(Reach and Jindex) software for textile designing.. Also I prefer hand drawn designs mostly And I'm looking forward for working as an Textile Designer in future.. May I know what way i can apply for a full time job and how should i apply for this??
I’m a jewelry design graduate. Is there some ways to transit to do job of textile design? I want to get foot wet to see if I’m really into textile design.
Hi, Thanks for the video. I would like to know how much does a full time textile designer earn in Sydney, Australia ? I am currently learning pattern design and planning to move to Sydney and would like to know if I can earn my living with pattern design. Thanks in advance 😊
Thank you so much for sharing about the real side of degrees and business. I think I've learnt more outside of my graphic design course. You are right they leave a lot out that is so important. I found there wasn't enough time given to learning the software ID AI PS Dreamweaver Premier and these are quite in deptjh programs. Please don't get me wrong I'm glad I did the course and am coming up to graduation. Again thank you for your real approach to your life as a textile designer which is what I want to do to. Please share anything and everything. TFS. BTW can I visit your studio:) Shaz
Great video ! :) I studied textile design at university, I kinda feel like it was a waste of time. Your just a minion in the eyes of the university. I probably would have learnt better If I had better guidance earlier on maybe I would have stuck to short courses instead and just worked any old job, as I am not an academic person. The tutors just like banging on about the best designer out of the class. I like the practical / experimental side, but doing work placements and internships for nothing and not getting anywhere is pretty disheartening. Its quite a cut throat industry if you want to work in fashion or interiors. Maybe it was the wrong subject for me I don't know. I love being creative, just employment is never guaranteed in creative subjects. Blood sweat and tears.

Enjoyed your down to earth storytelling style! I've just started dipping my toe into pattern designing, love all the possibilities it has!

Fascinating! I've always wondered how textiles get made!
So fantastic to hear your story. What trend companies would you recommend? I would love to dabble in pattern and textile design for my own products.
