About me
I'm a footwear and accessories designer turning everyday objects inside out by using the methods of surrealism.
I have worked with leather, footwear, and accessories for more than eight years now and have gained knowledge from various industry professionals. Visited trade fairs such as Lineapelle, Premiere Vision, built connections within the industry with companies in Brazil, India, UK, Italy, Netherlands, Iceland and Hungary.

I’m a freshly graduated Footwear and Accessories student with a passion for working with materials and experimenting, pushing boundaries with, always eager to learn new things and skills! My final year footwear collection aimed to “reinvent” a biodegradable material, using waste and making my own fish leather at home and at the on-site university tannery. My favourite part is making the design into reality just as well as doing CAD work. I have a theory and practical based knowledge of raw material and leather types, various finishing techniques, sustainability within the supply chain suitability for end-use and customer requirements.
I believe the change for the Footwear industry; what we take from nature could return to nature.

- The Bug DesignerI’m fascinated by the natural world, in particular varieties of bugs, butterflies and the habits they live in.
