Available to hire
Hello! I’m Aoibhe Humphreys, a fashion design graduate with a passion for sustainability and a love for hands-on making. I bring a blend of design, pattern work, and production experience across leather goods and apparel, with a collaborative, team-oriented approach learned through diverse fashion and service-industry roles. I’m excited to broaden my experience in fashion by joining teams that value thoughtful design, craft, and responsible practices.
Beyond the studio, I enjoy exploring new cultures and fashion contexts through internships and events globally, such as New York and Copenhagen Fashion Weeks, Milan design internships, and ongoing craft projects.
