For the last four years, I have been privileged to study Textile and Design at the Norwich University of the Arts. Not only have I learned many practical skills, such as using knitting machines, but I have also learnt how to work in a team, how to be reliable, to problem solve, how to use my imagination yet be flexible and adaptable.

Having a knitted fidget toy attach to your body helps bring stress relief, creativity, and a sense of accomplishment. It provides a meditative and calming experience, promoting relaxation and mindfulness. @denisailie

I am passionate about my final major project,’ Fidget Forms’ done with the medium knit, to design fabric and toys, to help those who suffer from anxiety, ADHD and autism, as I am a person with learning difficulties, which means I understand their needs.

I have enjoyed the work experiences that I have undertaken, which included upholstery and soft furnishing work and toy making, these experiences have fired up my ambition to gain more knowledge in upholstery world, while still developing my skills in knitting.

Thousands of people staring down, but after feeling and playing with knitted tactile fidget forms you will not be defeated by no one, you will feel powerful.
