About me
I currently work as an Apparel Designer at New Era Cap. With experience designing best-selling products for a global business, I’d love to design credible products for your brand. I have a First Class Honours Degree (BA Hons.) in Fashion Design (specialising in Menswear). As a lover of both vintage and modern, my design aesthetic inherently aims to combine the two. I love focussing on smaller details and rich fabrics to elevate pieces, as well as thinking about their longevity in someone’s wardrobe. Menswear has definitely inspired my personal style so I love to try and translate this back into my design work. Whilst my current commercial portfolio contains quite a lot of Sportswear-inspired and focussed pieces, my aspiration is to work on more classic lifestyle products.
