I am a textile designer and illustrator with a practice-based PhD in Smart Textiles/Textile Design from School of Textiles and Design, at the Heriot-Watt University, UK and a Masters in Textile Design from Swedish School of Textile, Borås University, Sweden. I have also completed an exchange semester at the Nottingham Trent University UK where I studied textile print.

I love to produce textile patterns and illustrations with a playful and sketchy touch, to add a bit of humor to the motif. Who doesn’t want to smile?  If you are interested to commission my work just send me an email and I will come back to you.

Next to running the illustration and print agency ‘House of Helmi’, I also work as a researcher within the area of Textile Design. You can read more about my research projects on my webpage marieledendal.se
