V&A Dundee put out a call for Dundee-based students to propose a design for a door for their digital advent calendar to run throughout December 2017. My proposal was based on the classic British Christmas image of a robin in a snowy winter scene but to give it a more modern, abstract take by creating the image as a layered paper cut. I was surprised and delighted when V&A Dundee chose me – as one of 25 selected designers –  to actually create my design for door number 16. All details within the design were cut by hand using just a scalpel.
