Biography
Nadine Jarvis was born in London where she now currently lives and works. She set up her design studio in 2006 after she was awarded a £10,000 bursary from the Design Museum and the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation. Her work in postmortem has exhibited at the Design Museum in London and Paul Smith in Milan, and it continues to tour the UK before going to FUNERIA in the States next year. As well as working as a designer, she maintains a close connection with Goldsmiths where she studied for her BA, and now works part-time as a researcher.
