" British Textile Designer Nada Herceg was born in Travnik in Central Bosnia. Daughter of a seamstress, Nada was influenced from a very early age by her mother’s work. This was a key factor in helping her to develop and cultivate a strong flair for design and creativity.
Passionate about drawing as a child, Nada never imagined that she would one day be perfecting this skill as a designer in a foreign land.
During the Bosnian War she is forced to immigrate to London in 1993.
In 2000 she takes a course in Textile Printing and is encouraged by her teacher to further her education. She enrols in a foundation course for Architecture at East London University and eventually graduates as a Textile Designer from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2006.
Nada is currently working as a freelance textile designer. She specialises in CAD (computer aided design.)
She has worked as a studio assistant for London based designers such as Roksanda Ilincic, and for various fashion events including London’s Fashion Week."

Herceg demonstrates the creative use of photography in her textiles collection "kaleidoscope". Here she arranged everyday objects and then photographed them through a kaleidoscope, creating there amazing pattern formations. She edited them further by putting them into repeat and printing them digitally into silk, allowing her to maintain their rich, photographic qualities. - Digital Textiles Design book second ed by Melanie Bowles and Ceri Isaac
