Vasare Nar
97 // Vasare Nar is originally from Lithuania but now lives in the UK. She studied Design for Visual Communication at the University of Ulster in Belfast. Vasare has a box full of visuals saved from magazines, etc., that she uses for inspiration, and she loves to catalogue interesting finds on Pinterest. Travelling is also a big source of inspiration, and recent trips to the Netherlands gave her a great many ideas. Another influence is being surrounded by other creative people who encourage and inspire each other. Clients have included Shutterstock and UKAVD. Vasare loves to design textile patterns, and in the coming few years she would like to have a small line of clothing featuring her print designs. Her dream commission would be to design window and store displays for Topshop or Urban Outfitters.
