ABOUT Francesca

I’m a 2024 BA (Hons)Textiles Design graduate with a First Class honours, specialising in knitwear. My work explores innovative textile development through a deep understanding of yarns, materials and sustainable processes.

While knit is at the core of my practice ,I also enjoy incorporating fabric manipulation, embellishment and surface texture to bring depth and tactility to my designs. I have experience across domestic and industrial machines, including Silver Reed and Brother, alongside DesignaKnit and Stoll software. Using techniques such as tucks, cables, ribs, partial knitting and racking to explore texture and structure.

I’m passionate about creating considered textiles that balances creativity with functionality, and i’m excited to apply this approach within the industry, whether through hands-on technical development, design collaboration or supporting others in the making process.
