Fashion designer and digital fashion artist with experience across design, retail management and dance. I create immersive experiences and garments that are influenced by sound and movement, using both physical and digital tools to explore identity and self-expression. I built a luxury streetwear and digital fashion brand inspired by culture, dance, and movement. I delivered bespoke pieces and mini-collections for dancers and artists, and I’ve built an engaged community around movement-led design. As a designer and creative technologist, I create immersive experiences that fuse sound, identity, and motion—bridging physical and digital tools to explore self-expression. My work spans fashion design, branding, and content development, underpinned by a love of storytelling, VR/AR, and 3D design.
