This post is on the amazingly inspirational Rachael Taylor. She gave a couple of lectures to my Textile Design group whilst I was at uni and I can still remember the feeling I had after her first talk. I was filled with excitement and it was the pivotal point in my life where I knew roughly what direction I wanted to go down with my designing. I went from wondering if I was on the right course and having no idea at all of where I wanted to go to being full of confidence in my work and I can't thank her enough for helping me figure this out.
Her work is bright and bold with beautiful colour combinations and a uniquely quirky style. She is an inspiration and will continue to be throughout my career, I just hope someday I can make an impact on new designers the way she has on me.
I would also like to add that Rachael’s and Beth Nicholls Surface PatternDesign Course is amazing and for anyone wanting to delve into the world of pattern design it is a perfect place to start!
