Hello, my name is Emma Young, I am a fashion designer, technical designer, pattern maker, and artist. My journey with design started at a young age when I began experimenting with fabrics, paint and nature to understand the world around me.
My previous education in Environmental Science and professional work in environmental fields, now informs my creative direction; it deeply influences my design philosophy, guiding me to create eco-informed, archival and considered pieces.
