about me.

I am Nathalie Nijk, a Dutch printed textile designer located in Glasgow. Having left a degree in Illustration to pursue Printed Textiles, my illustrative approach is very characteristic of my work. Hand drawing/painting lies at the heart of my practice – every element in my designs is always created by hand, with keen eye for detail. I enjoy doing in-depth project research for my print designs, creating striking and unique textiles. I hold an MDes Fashion +Textiles degree with distinction (The Glasgow School of Art) and a First Class BA(Hons) in Design for Textiles (Heriot-Watt University).

Following my masters education, I spent two years working as a fulltime Textile Designer at Voyage Maison. This really enabled me to hone my skills as a designer and develop strong skills in watercolour painting and placement/repeat print ready for industry. Currently I work freelance.
