New England Textiles Industry
​
Through a RISD Textron Fellowship during Summer 2017, I had the opportunity to conduct a self-led research project to understand textile manufacturing capabilities in the New England region using qualitative research methods in order to begin developing a publicly available database of currently operating mills in the region.
​
​
I was advised throughout the project by Fibershed.
