During my studies at Derby University I studied a foundation year in art and design following on to my degree, during my degree I took a DPP year out which I received a Diploma in Professional Practice. Whilst on my DPP year out I decided to go self employed and start my own brand.
Although I studied fashion as my degree I actually based my final collection on costume design.
