My project, Waves & Wellness, is a print design collection for a beach yoga retreat inspired by North Norfolk, my hometown. Combining personal storytelling with socially responsive textiles, Waves & Wellness explores wellbeing, connection and inclusivity through design.

Final Major Textiles Design Project 2026

WAVES & WELLNESS

Waves & Wellness is a restorative beach yoga retreat inspired by the coastal landscape of my hometown North Norfolk. My interior and print design project explores how textiles can enhance wellbeing, connection, and community through thoughtful design. Developed from personal memories, primary photography and hand-painted prints, the collection captures the colours, textures and movement of the Norfolk coastline to create a nostalgic and calm atmosphere.

The retreat is designed for the older demographic of North Norfolk. The project promotes inclusive movement and emotional wellbeing through gentle and comforting materials. Waves & Wellness demonstrates how textile interiors can create meaningful, supportive spaces that can create a memorable shared experience.
