I am a commercially focused fashion and textile designer with over 10 years of industry experience, specialising in garment design, print development, and product-led collections for retail. Originally from South Africa, I immigrated to New Zealand just over six years ago, bringing a strong global perspective and understanding of diverse markets. Throughout my career, I have led and contributed to the full design process, from concept and trend research through to final production. I have worked closely alongside buyers and cross-functional teams to ensure ranges are both creative and commercially viable.
