Knitwear for Fashion Womenswear Design graduate from The Winchester
School of Art. I have over 1 years firsthand design experience, having worked
in a number of different studios designing and creating many knitted and
woven garments as well as a 6 outfit final collection for my own work. I
process a sensitivity to yarn choices and attention to details within my knitted
techniques and finishing. I am motivated by challenge and work exceeding
well under pressure to strict deadlines. I thrive collaborating as a team to
achieve higher goals as well individually to inspire others. Excellent
communication skills, it is my responsibility to bring in creative ideas at
critics and meetings, to speak up and share them, and communicate them
in a way that everyone can understand.
Work has been selected to represent Winchester School of Art in their London show at The Vinyl Factory in which only 20 students are shown. Also selected & featured by NOT JUST A LABEL, Texprint, Purpose Of It, New York publication HEAVEN HAS HEELS, GFW, VOGUE & STORM model managements NEW FACES portfolios. Knitted swatches have been sold to Sophie Steller & displayed at SPINEXPO in Shanghai.
Since Graduating I have worked with Cats Brothers, J H ZANE, LAURA THEISS, HAYLEY MENZIES PORTOBELLO & Caitlin Charles Jones.
