About me
I am an aspiring and passionate fashion designer currently looking for opportunities to challenge and work within the industry I mostly specialize in concept ideation and design and I tend to find my inspiration from contemporary modern fashion that influenced culture. Throughout my university experience, I have gained a plethora of technical and transferable skills such as working with Mohsin Sajid during the Denim History project and my Creative Outwear project for the first unit and Frances Dove Murphy in the last unit of second year and debuted my Graduate collection in Graduate Fashion Week in June 2024

    BA (Hons) Fashion DesignNorwich University of the arts
     - Norwich, United Kingdom
    Gained Second Class in Upper Division During my time at university, I was able to gain valuable experience and early onsite knowledge of the industry In First Year, I embarked on the White project which I was tasked to make a white technical shirt and a white garment which I presented for our year one catwalk. I also interned for the Graduates with their collection In Second Year, I embarked on a Creative Outerwear and creative cut project. During those projects I produced a blouson with a metallic foil design, minimal seam jersey moulage and denim prototype that drew influences from ballet wear. Additionally I embarked on a collaboration project and made a garment and accessories collection for Frances Murphy. This gave me insight on trend forecasting and concept ideation. In my penultimate year, I created a collection that focuses on cyber futurism and the asymmetric and uncertainty of the future involving fashion as well as including elements of molten metal. I also gained visual merchandising experience by doing my own photoshoots and styling. This collection allowed me to showcase my technical and conceptual skills in Graduate Fashion Week 2024.
