It would make sense for me to get into design, however, but up until this point, the only bit of design work I have done for the brand is selecting my favourites. Designers I work with are so incredible and usually able to offer me up to 20 choices of different designs incorporating the artwork we’ve been working with. So my job has been to cut the designs I don’t think people would like.

One day I produced a design using Placeit that I fell in love with. And that design became the “Faith” legging of the Starfish Dreaming Collection. I sent the mockup photo to my supplier and asked them if they think they could bring the design to life. I didn’t normally ask to use their graphic design service, instead preferring to select my own designers and send them final designs.

The design they sent back, made up in vector form, looked so good that I decided to go with it and had the first design I'd ever created made up on real fabric, as real leggings! But the real decider of whether a design was going to work was and has always been Faebella supporters and customers. So I organised a photoshoot of women wearing the Faith legging's and posted the photo's on Faebella's social media platforms and website. 

Thankfully, the design was a success! People loved it and I found this so encouraging that I figured I'd try to design the rest of the Starfish Dreaming Collection myself.
