Great to be a room full of creatives who have the same passion as me. Colour, Design and Pattern!
Nerida’s experience in the Industry, both Australian and Global is something you don’t learn in the current courses out there, it’s real life experience from actually working hard in the Industry. Nerida is not only passionate about pattern and the industry, but also supporting new and upcoming designers, with the message that ‘there is enough space for everyone’
Thanks so much!
