Vahekeny Rodrigues

Since a young age I have always enjoyed being creative and especially loved to draw. After gaining a Bachelor of Arts in Textile & Surface Design in 2020 I went on to study an MA in Creative Practice via Textiles & Surface Design exploring the kinetic and optical properties within geometric pattern. I am passionate about design, directing my work towards both the contract and domestic interior markets, exploring colour, pattern, texture, and tactile surface treatments within my collections. I believe that tactility and texture complete the designs as this is an integral part of the textiles industry. My inspiration is informed by elements taken from nature and the built environment around me, extracting pattern and colour to inform my design direction.
