In 2001 I completed a Post Graduate Diploma in Graphic Design, a conjoint degree from the Whanganui School of Design and University of Waikato. The exhibition showed four catalogues each with hand tailored and styled garments designed to have very little structure therefore totally reliant on marketing and promotional materials. The title of the work was 'A good design is one that sells.'
