About

I am a Fashion Design graduate from Leeds Beckett University with a creative practice rooted in contemporary streetwear, cultural influences and experimentation. I enjoy challenging conventional approaches to clothing through garment construction, upcycling, creative pattern cutting and textile manipulation, with a particular interest in design that communicates identity and tells meaningful stories.

My previous work explores Jamaican heritage and Caribbean identity through expressive garments and thoughtful storytelling. I have gained practical experience through an Oxfam summer placement, collaborative projects with Burberry, and fashion showcases including London Fashion Week’s Second Hand September and the Fashion Alliance North Fashion Show. I am friendly, adaptable and excited to contribute my creativity, problem-solving skills and collaborative approach to future fashion projects.
