I am a fashion designer and seamstress. I am experienced in fashion, costume and interior luxury manufacturing.
I enjoy creating innovative clothing that is not only individual, but also comfortable and playful. I enjoy the challenge of new projects as well as adapting garments or interiors to give something a new lease of life.

Education

U
BA(Hons) Fashion Design with Business StudiesUniversity of Brighton
- Brighton, United Kingdom
The nature of my degree was highly practical, mainly focused on research, design and manufacturing garments. We also learnt how to create and made our own business plan. We had fashion and textile historical studies, which we had to do our dissertation under. My dissertation discussed how fashion from the late medieval period is portrayed to a twenty-first century audience through the use of novels and on-screen drama series.
