About

I’m a Senior Womenswear Designer and design consultant specialising in jersey and soft separates, with a strong focus on seasonal creative direction, colour/print development, and turning concepts into commercially successful products. I’ve worked across end-to-end product development—from mood and range planning through to tech packs, factory liaison, sampling, fit assessment, and final approvals—while keeping quality and brand identity at the heart of every collection.

I thrive in collaborative environments supporting founders and business owners to modernise brands, streamline design processes, and improve how product and technical teams work together. Whether I’m presenting seasonal strategy to wholesale agents, art-directing photoshoots, or improving studio workflows, I bring exceptional organisation, clear communication, and a proactive, hands-on approach to help brands grow and deliver customer-focused design.
