Hello !
I’m a creative Mens, Women's & Kidswear Designer, based in South-East London. I have a first class degree in Fashion Design and over 6 years experience designing for high street suppliers.
I currently work for a London based supplier, working across multiple brands and product areas. I have developed my skills specialising in light/heavy weight jersey. Acquiring an enthusiasm for research, strong cads skills and production knowledge; ensuring I can engage with each part of the design process.
Currently I find myself quite specialised and am eager to broaden my role, getting stuck in on new product areas, advancing my knowledge and technical skills.
With a personal shift in perception of the garment industry, it lead me to explore further into Sustainability in Fashion. Completing a short course with the University of Arts London on Sustainable souring in Fashion and an online course Fashion & Sustainability with London College of Fashion.
