Fashion Design Teacher & Support Worker
-
- Fashion Design support worker, helping assist and teach a visually impaired fashion design student, in her second and third year of BA. I worked one to one with the student and helped liaise between the student and their design lecturer. Supporting her with pattern cutting, sewing and design skills.
- I helped the student have more confidence in her own design work. Encouraging her to express herself through drawing and design concept, resulting in the student showing a two look concept collection at London Fashion Week.
- Assisted her with Photoshop and Illustrator, teaching her how to use the programs and helped her apply it to her design presentation work, from mood boards, colour boards and technical boards.
- Taught her how to research thoroughly into a concept, in the initial research phase. From history books, galleries, vintage source pieces and to what is current now.
