For the last 2 years I have worked as a freelance pattern designer with a specialism in handpainting and papercuts. I edit and produce patterns for fashion, art, film and interiors and have worked with designers, artists and labels in both the UK and internationally on projects including The Crown, Dior, Frieze and Venice Biennale.
I also work as a grade 3 support technician within the world-renowned fashion department at Central St Martins. I assist students with their construction queries, maintain and record machinery, prepare resources for colleagues and produce tutorial videos for online learning.
As studio manager at digital print manufacturer Fashion Formula I created and edited designs, liaised with the production team, met clients and maintained the showroom.
I worked as creative director for online, in-store and press at Beyond Retro, Europe's largest vintage retailer. I produced, directed and styled campaign shoots that are representative of Beyond Retro as an ethical and inclusive yet aspirational brand.
My eponymous ready-to-wear label has been featured in Nick Knight's fashion film 'Girly' as well as numerous publications including Garage, Vogue.co.uk, Polyester, Rookie, The Huffington Post, Baby G watches, Vice and Ballad of...

- Ceridwen - Jayne Pierson 2023Some pieces I worked on for Jayne Pierson's SS24 collection Ceridwen. It was so much fun making the 3D printed corset top which has pleated leather sleeves and features fantastic two-tone 3D printed overlay. I also enjoyed making the taffeta pussybow blouse and the pintucked panelling on the duchess satin dress. #ceridwen #jaynepierson #lfw #stratasys #samplemachinist #seamstress #londonseamstress #3dprinting
