Junior Womenswear Designer, specialising in Luxury Womenswear.
I am by nature curious about fashion as a form of art, which is in a non stop state of evolution.I present the skill of resiliency and a strong passion, which led me from moving from a small town in Australia at the age of 16 on my own to Europe to pursue my development as a designer.
I am confident working alone and enjoy following tasks through from beginning to end. I understand the need for clear communication and maintaining professional relationships through team work. I demonstrate a keen creative eye and have a strong understanding of luxury quality products.

In my current role as an Assistant Womenswear Designer at Daks I Assist the Womenswear designer in maintaining a British aesthetic and provide him with inspiration and ideas. I assist in the development of the collection straight from initial concept through to final product. I assist in sourcing fabrics internationally and attend fit meetings in our Italian based studio. I form proposals of shapes and concepts and also how I think the seasonal print should be developed within the collection. I give seasonal design direction of our Womenswear categories to our East Asian licensees covering categories such as loungewear,shoes, hats, sunglasses and gloves.
