About me
Having just finished 4 years of fashion at Coventry University, I am next undergoing a masters degree in Design Management at Coventry University. During my final year I designed & manufactured an entire 6 outfit childrenswear collection called FETCH, with a corresponding dogwear. Whilst on my industry year I traveled to China and Australia to gain vital experience. In China, I worked for an accessory company who supply to many well known international brands. In Australia, I worked for a childrenswear brand which has recently branched into matching womenswear. I am a confident and self-motivated fashion practitioner, with a focus on childrenswear and dog design. Exemplary at meeting deadlines and timekeeping. Skilled in Photoshop, Illustrator, Videography, Photography and have an excellent ability to add positivity to your workplace.
Projects
  • 'FETCH' Final Major Project
    'FETCH' Final Major Project‘Fetch’ is a reflection of my passion and personality. A beautifully co/ordinated collection for children and dogs inspired by a love of animals and all things fun including visits to inflatable fun parks. A key focus of the collection is water resistant outerwear for fun days out splashing in the rain. Each outfit is paired with a plastic bucket hat inspired by rain hats. The collection is bright, simple, functional and well-made and above all fun.
