Lauren Meta-Martin, Online Editor

After earning my BA in Textile Design from Falmouth University, I worked across pattern design, costume and responsive textiles. I’m fascinated by the intersection of technology and sustainable design, and blending handcrafted tradition with innovation.

Alongside my creative interests, I also teach. Guiding textile students in refining their essays and university applications has deepened my love for editorial work, seeing how language—like textiles—can be a powerful form of communication.

I joined Selvedge to bring that same passion to our online platform, where I edit and curate Selvedge Stories, and manage our social media channels. I believe textiles connect us, offering the tactility we crave in an increasingly digital world. That’s the challenge I embrace at Selvedge: bringing texture to the online space. More than ever, the digital realm has the potential to foster community, and I look forward to hearing from you on our online platform.
