I wouldn't be me if I didn't come home from a show without a couple of books, but I have only just realised how funny the combination of titles is. After two days at New Designers in the company of the wonderful team from Make it in Design and fellow students/alumni I can definitely say patterns are needed!

Even the mud in the estuary looks better in the sunshine. Look at those amazing patterns of cracks. Loving this heatwave 🌞
