I am a freelance print and textile designer. Using an eclectic mix of hand drawing and digital creations on beautiful fabrics and textile based mediums.
My skills have been refined from working for names such as Versace, Peter Pilotto and Ralph&Russo. They allowed me to explore my imagination, emotions and reactions through visual recordings that then become the foundations of the designs.
The various medias I work with include; digital and screen prints, jacquards, laser cut and surface embellishment. Production knowledge and skills are also a part of my foundation having experience working with suppliers in Italy as well as more commercial roots in China and Turkey.

Print designerRalph & Russo
- London, United KingdomFull Time
On joining Ralph & Russo I established their first print and textile department. My role consisted of working directly with the creative director to produce creative and original designs that worked within the brands DNA and specific clientele demographic. My design versatility spanned over the couture, accessories, clients and the new RTW collection, creating a variety of prints, jacquards and screen print based designs.
My skill set is vast from using various software and hand drawing mediums to co-ordinating a small team to work between the design studio and our in house atelier were the couture pieces are made. A key part to my role was production and quality control as well as developing new bridges between ourselves and quality suppliers to source the luxury fabrics we required.
