    Over the last two years I have freelanced with the Mandela Centre, a community project based organisation bringing to light important matters of the world we live in today. The project I've had the pleasure working on with them has been Restoring garments dating back to the turn of the century right through to modern day fashion.

    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.
