FASHION DESIGNER/ CREATIVE PATTERN CUTTER/ TEXTILE ARTIST

As someone working within the fashion industry, my primary goal is to create beautiful and innovative garments that not only look good, but fit perfectly and contribute to the larger conversation on sustainability. I firmly believe that clothing can be a force for good, and that we can create a better, more equitable industry by prioritising environmental responsibility and social justice.

I have a wide range of experience within the fashion industry which make me the ideal addition to any creative, hardworking team; from completing a BA(Hons) in Menswear at the widely respected London College of Fashion, to graduating and working for luxury fashion brands to produce runway pieces as well as production collections.

I have had the opportunity to work with leading designers both locally and internationally, crafting unique designs that are functional, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. My professional experience includes flat pattern cutting for mens and womenswear, working from sketches or vintage samples, draping and designing on the form, knowledge of construction and finishings as well as tailoring. This knowledge allows me to suggest creative pattern approaches to ensure best results. Additionally, I have extensive experience with the use of digital technology in production including CAD and Adobe Illustrator to create spec illustrations for technical packs.

What has shaped me even further is experiences outside of my career. In October 2022 I underwent open heart surgery and was off work and unable to do much for 2 months. This experience gave me a lot of quiet time to think and since fully recovering, I feel a deep sense of belief in myself. That time showed me that I am resilient mentally and physically and to give my all to everything I want to do

I am passionate about fashion, sustainability, and creativity, and I believe that my expertise in design, pattern cutting, latex, and textile art makes me a valuable addition to any team. I look forward to continuing to explore new avenues of design and innovation, and I am excited to see where my work will take me next.
