I'm a Manchester Based designer, currently working for a company full time but looking to take on some freelance projects. I have experience across Menswear and Womenswear, but also a little bit over Boys wear. Im currently working over Multi-product including Jersey, Wovens, Denim, Knitwear and Outerwear
Projects
- Safeguard Armour - FreelanceI was asked to Join the team at Safeguard Armour during the Summer of 2020 - My contract there was over a 6 week period working 2 days a week. During my time there I assisted the Head Of Production with creating and designing a new Apparel range for their Customer base targeted Specifically for the Special Forces. Below you can see a breakdown of my design whilst there
- Furlough Project; Project ThreeDuring my time on Furlough I started a series of small design capsules to help develop my portfolio further. Project Three focussed more on selecting a profession and developing a design capsule around that. I chose Trawlerman after being inspired watching a series on BBC.
