Meet Rebecca Jones – 2014 Global Talent Search Special Studio Winner!

Today we are thrilled to share a peek into what it feels like to be chosen as a Special Studio Winner in the 2014 Global Talent Search. Here’s Rebecca Jones…

1) Congratulations! How do you feel right now having heard the news that you are a Special Studio Award winner in the 2014 Global Talent Search?
It is an amazing feeling! It really was a dream come true. I was so happy! I danced around the room with my 6 year old son. I have worked really hard over the last year at my illustration work. Drawing and designing in every spare moment. It is such a great feeling to know that it has paid off.

About Rebecca

I am an English designer and illustrator living in Melbourne, Australia. I studied for a BA(Hons) in Textiles and Fashion at Winchester School of Art. I worked for various companies after graduating, the most exhilarating being a job as an embroidery and print designer for a fashion studio. The work was very creative, and my designs sold all over the world to companies such as Anthropologie and Gap. After moving to Australia on a bit of a whim, I worked for various home decor companies. As well as designing, my job enabled me to travel the world researching trends. I took time out after having my son, and began to create work that was just for me again. I would draw all day long if I could now. I am inspired by my own childhood memories, vintage children’s books, and by nature and wildlife.
