About me

Good Morning,

My name is Jasmine Williams and I am a creative textile designer, recently graduated with a BA degree in Textile Design from the University of Leeds.

I just wondered if you could consider some work experience for me or any entry level work

I was particularly interested in the job vacancy on your website -

Freelance Designer

Here is some information about myself and my work -

As a girl that has grown up by the sea, I feel a personal connection to coastal living and to the seaside. I remember that most of our family days out meant taking a picnic to the beach, paddling in the sea and collecting shells and dried out seaweed. These memories are important to me because they epitomise the majority of my childhood, and with them being so special I thought that it would be lovely to surround my current projects with coastal influences; exploring the atmosphere and environment that encapsulates the lifestyle of coastal living.

My most successful work is my visual exploration and visual research; including documenting observations of my environment through sketching and photography. In my visual exploration I am particularly interested in digitally documenting trend and colour research through the development of mood boards and colour palettes. I use trend forecasts with my own collection of visual research to interpret forecasts into my own design concepts.

For example the colour palette that I developed for my current coastal living project explores the ocean and its environment for inspiration. From this I created a colour story that looks to ocean depths in a range of stormy blues hues and to the sky for softer blue hues. These hazy blue tones are interjected with smaller contrasts of faded browns that reflect natural seaside elements such as shells and driftwood.

Examples of my visual reserach, textile and photography work are demonstrated in an online portfolio:

Thank You,

Jasmine Williams
