About Me

My name is Simone Leah Botfield, Im 19 years of age and currently live with my family in Ewloe, Flintshire, North Wales. I attended Hawarden High school where I obtained ten GCSE's and A Levels. Throughout the two years in sixth form i studied Design and Technology Textiles which I gained a Grade B, Information Communication Technology Grade B, Art and Design Grade C and also I studied the Welsh Baccalaureate Grade A Pass. I throughly enjoyed school and when I began studying textiles in sixth form I saw my enthusiam for fashion design expanding. During Textiles Technology I produced a Lady Gaga inspired garment, alot of thought process, testing and making went into my project which was successfully paid off as I was awarded a certificate and had my garment displayed at the Manchester Technology Awards Center.
I feel I am a very creative minded person, this is not something that I can just show through pen and paper but through every piece of work I produce. I can be considered as a perfectionist and show this through the effort and passion I make sure I put into every piece of work I create. I am now studying a one year foundation course in Art and Design at West Cheshire College, in December I specialised in Fashion Design and I am sincerely thankful and appreciative of how much I have learned and how studying fashion will never introduce a barrier. The reason I would like to study at Manchester Metropolitan University is because I admire the reviews and sheer level of enthusiam from the Fashion faculty aswell as the fantastic grades previous pupil have graduated with. The course has so much interest and detail I would like to explore to help me open up another pathway to my dream career. The situation of the University is also another reason why I would like to study at Manchester, the area seems a very pleasant place to live in as I would hopefully be able to move away to get the full experience. I hope you enoy reading through my blog and thankyou so much for allowing me to show you my work.
