The Textile Collection

View Laura's final year textile collection. Laura has developed 'Interactive garment labelling' to help the user clearly understand what the garment is made from, sizing, care and more.  She has used Shima Seiki simulation software to create digital images to increase the detail available and reduce waste.  

Norfolk's Eroding Coastline

The Erosion Jumper

Laura, who originates from Norwich, loves nothing better than a walk along one of Norfolk’s beautiful beaches with her Border Collie dogs.  She is passionate about supporting and celebrating the environment around us and has used this to underpin her final year Info Design project, which also showcases her degree specialism, knitwear.

Her project aims to increase awareness of coastal erosion in Norfolk via a knitted jumper, which showcases predicted erosion data in a visual, impactful and interactive way.

Undergraduate Research Experience, UGRE 2024

Laura was delighted to have been asked to represent the School of Design, at the Undergraduate Research Experience (UGRE), at the University of Leeds.  

She presented her dissertation research which is investing the intersection of textiles and technology, through 3D Knitted Spacer Fabrics.

Laura is also thrilled to have been sponsored by iinouiio (Camira Group) who have provided the recycled wool yarn for her dissertation.

Interactive Labelling
