Lauren Moriarty

Lauren Moriarty has a BA (hons) degree in Multimedia Textiles (first class honours) from Loughborough University School of Art and Design (2001) and an MA in Industrial Design from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London (2005). She classes herself as a textile, product and industrial designer and she has mostly works with materials, which she finds interesting and unusual. Such examples of these are different types of plastics, foams and neoprene. She became interested in these different materials while at studying for her degree, and found that with the use of laser cutting she could manipulate the materials to her will. After graduating from college she went on to do a Masters working with the same materials in more complex ways she set out to ‘brand herself’, by creating a unique selling point. While studying her Masters new techniques became available for use such as heat bonding for her 3D rubber structures she would be most renowned for.
