About me
I am a creative and passionate individual currently residing in retail management, fashion design and styling. I am a self starter and have gained many skills in my different areas of work which has moulded me into a reliable and multi skilled worker. Being a self taught designer and machinist has its tribulations but the best thing of all is that I have no limitations in what I produce, as far as I am concerned I have no limits. I have a saying I use regularly which is 'The sky is merely the surface;' this statement stems from the fact that 4 years ago I had no idea how to use a sewing machine let alone construct an entire collection. I aim to inspire and produce product that is expressive through fabric and design. I put my entire being into each piece and will sew to the day I die even if it's just for my own personal joy.

Education
    Journalism News Media and Creative Writing
    London, United Kingdom
    This course allowed me to be expressive and taught me how to write in ways that inspired me. Journalism news media combined with creative writing is how I got into fashion writing and after leaving university wrote fashion articles for online magazines. English was always where I reigned and left school with a grade A so this degree made sense as I got to read continuously and write consistently. My dissertation was done on the evolvement of beauty in Vogue magazine; I spent hours in the British library researching into the very 1st publication of Vogue to the most recent and had the best time completing those 12,000 words.
