      Hi there
      My strength is more in the development of materials for specific functions. I work better to a brief that states the properties required.
      Designing and developing clothes for fashion is a very different skill, one which I don’t have! I do work with the designers to make our materials look good however for me its performance first.
      I specifically chose my degree because if focused on the science and technology of making textiles rather than the design elements
      Does that help? Keep asking questions!
