Fashion Designer
I am a fashion designer with a degree in Fashion Design from De Montfort University, where I developed my skills across design, garment construction, textiles and the technical aspects of fashion. My time at university allowed me to explore my creative identity as a designer while developing a strong understanding of the design process, from initial concept development through to the creation of finished garments.
During my studies, my work was showcased at Graduate Fashion Week, giving me the opportunity to present my designs within a professional fashion environment and gain valuable experience of exhibiting my work to a wider audience.

This recognition was particularly meaningful to me, as technical craftsmanship and attention to detail are central to my approach as a designer.
Prior to university, I studied at Shrewsbury College, where I was awarded Visual 3D Arts Student of the Year. This award recognised my creativity, commitment and ability to work across visual and three-dimensional disciplines, and helped to establish the foundations of my creative practice. ...
