Nina, Kirsty and Fiona were my housemates during December in Shipley, Yorkshire. They were also working for Hallmark and Tigerprint. Nina makes lovely stuff and sells it via her shop, Kirsty is a pattern designer with colourphobia (one of a special kind against bright colours) and then Fiona, who is a master of rolling, triangles and makes 3D cool stuff.
