I am a creative womenswear designer focused on trend-led, wearable collections.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am a creative, driven fashion designer specializing in womenswear, with a BA in Design, Branding and Entrepreneurship from Jimmy Choo Academy (2022–2025). My graduate collection, "Riot of Glamour," explored nostalgic 1980s club-wear trends and was photographed by Daffydd Jones.
I combine trend forecasting, Adobe Creative Suite, CAD/3D tools and hands-on garment construction and pattern cutting to produce visually striking yet wearable formalwear. I led a 10-look collection as Designer & Creative Lead at a London Fashion Week runway show sponsored by ILOVEFASHIONUK and had designs featured in a NOVA MAY music video.
I have practical industry experience from a studio internship at Nominal London, pop-up retail and backstage coordination at London Fashion Week, and I thrive in collaborative, fast-paced production environments where creative leadership and commercial awareness are valued.
