About me
Originally from Northern Ireland, I completed my BA in Fashion Design at the Glasgow School of Art, graduating with first class honours, before completing a year in the linen industry in Ireland. Now living in London, I have just completed the first year of my MA in Fashion Womenswear at the Royal College of Art and am now taking a time out of my studies in search of industry experience. My work is focused on creating seductively tailored pieces, exploring the process of making and how this can be documented.
