About me

BA graduate from London College of Fashion specialising in women and men’s footwear design. At the heart of my design is traditional craftsmanship skills, which I overlay with technological development such as 3D printing. Sustainability is important to me, creating transeasonal designs focused on longevity with an influence of tactile femininity. The power of locally made products establish familiarity and traceability within the brand. I am seeking a designer position in a like-minded and innovative company.
