About Colby Hopper
M.S. in Textiles and B.S in Textile Design graduate from North Carolina State University’s Wilson College of Textiles. My thesis research focused on the development of accessible home textiles for all users, both with and without disabilities. Specifically, I focused on the impact color, pattern, and texture have on our moods and behaviors within the home.My research and career interests lie at the intersection of creating original textile prints and navigating personal and life experiences. I am a sibling of a C5/C6 spinal cord injury survivor and have a keen interest and passion for inspiring change in the textile industry.I am currently working as a textile designer for Sunbrella®, where I am actively involved in stock line design, collaborative collections, and custom line development for indoor & outdoor furniture as well as marine and shade markets.
