DESIGNER - emily rees

These are the fun designs of Emily Rees a freelance designer based in Surrey, England. After studying Textile Design and Surface Decoration in London Emily worked as a designer for around 10 years in both fashion and home, mostly in-house for a number of brands and high street stores. She learnt about all aspects of wholesale design and spent some time working in China for a bed linen manufacturer which gave her greater insight into what is commercially possible. Her main experience is within bed linen and home textiles for both adults and children, and Emily has had designs in John Lewis, Designers Guild and Dunelm to name a few. After having two children Emily's career has taken a bit of a back seat for the past few years. However, now the fog of childcare has finally eased a little she is able to refocus on her career and has spent the past few months working on a portfolio and creating a website. Going forward Emily is looking for possible opportunities and is pretty much open to anything from full time in house design (London based) to freelancing from home.
