  Jessica Priemus is a multidisciplinary designer with a background in interior architecture and fashion and textile design. Her work explores how objects and materials may be designed to emphasise traces of the making process. Her aim is to incorporate visual and tactile richness into contemporary design. Her doctoral thesis (in progress) Narrating Textile Construction is generating a unique practice framework, considering usually flat materials, such as cloth, as spatial, temporal and dynamic. As well as working with textiles she both practices and teaches in Interior Architecture at Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia. Her practice includes experimenting with exaggerated tactility, emphasising the spatial nature of fabric, and embedding traces of time, change and movement in materials. Jessica has over 17 years practice experience as an award-winning interior and fashion designer. Through her fashion label Bhalo (2009 - 2018) she gained international media attention for her ecologically and socially conscious approach to design.
