Florence Tambini Cooper

Freelance Printed Textile Designer

London, United Kingdom
florence.t.c@hotmail.com be.net/Florencetc5c90
I am a printed textiles designer, that loves playing with colour and pattern, as well as experimenting with less traditional materials and mediums. I am commercially savvy and am able to work well to a brief and follow trends. However I also have experience and interest in pushing the boundaries of what printed textiles are and working with a wide range of materials. I am comfortable and skilled in both digital design and hand design techniques, such as screen printing and drawing. I have experience working for fashion and interiors and have worked at a range of market levels in different design studios, completing internships in both highly commercial companies and at designer maker levels.
