  London, United Kingdom During my time at Hobbs I have experienced some of the crucial aspects that go on day to day in the buying department.

Being in the office environment and part of the team has given me some real understanding of the different roles and support of each role involved to make a team successful, how much interaction and co-ordination is needed between the merchandisers and designers too. The importance of planning, double checking, organisation and time management has been vital. Show less

Many things determine the strength of a consumer’s connection to a product or garment, be it cultural background, a personal journey or an experience of some kind… Today so many individuals lead such busy, fast paced lives that many aspects of day-to-day life have been forced to speed up. Contact is both constant and in many cases simultaneous; with social networking at the touch of a button, often no verbal or physical contact is necessary. This forces the question, does stepping out of the fast-paced, technology driven lives, lend us the time we need to actually get to grips with some of the experiences and meanings we lose touch with by being so digitally dependant? One of the leading sustainability groups within the design industry is TED’s 10 and one of the 10 sections applied to considerate design is ‘designing to reduce the need to consume’. Ted Research, 2015. This approach emphasises the importance of producing products that consumers form an attachment to; products which can adapt and change with the times. At a personal level as a designer my own relationship to sustainable textiles is growing more and more with every project I undertake and I think that every designer, in every area, should be held accountable for the waste and resources they use within their practice. Awareness of this issue isn’t something designers can avoid and we shouldn’t want to Show less

They offered me a full time internship but unfortunately it clashed with my university studies.
