About me
A creative final year Fashion Design student, currently studying at Northumbria University and specialising in menswear pattern cutting. Throughout my studies I have developed strong technical drawing skills as well as a good understanding of flat pattern cutting and garment construction. Previous projects have given me the ability to confidently articulate my ideas through research, mood boards and experimental designs, I am now eager to continue expanding my knowledge and embark on a career in fashion

Whilst at university I completed a twelve month placement at British lifestyle brand Barbour, supporting the Mens Outerwear team in all aspects of the design process.
