About Me.
I am a young enthusiastic designer with an eye for commercial fashion and detailing in product styling.
I am currently a Junior Designer for Dewhirst Menswear with ownership of the Nightwear department. I was previously a Freelance Junior Designer for a lifestyle brand called Peachaus, where I designed all aspects of womenswear from lounge/sleep to beachwear and swimwear. The sleepwear range I designed and developed end-to-end is currently their bestseller. I was lucky to be offered this opportunity during lockdown, after a disappointingly disrupted final year at university. The Sleepwear range I have been designing is made from low impact recycled, ethically grown yarns and I am avidly focused on expanding the green credentials for brands and their potential positive impact. At University I primarily studied Menswear, encompassing ethnic culture and gender fluidity. I fully produced my final collection (as you see in this portfolio), even though I wasn’t at university due to lockdown. I managed to set up and creative direct a photoshoot and I secured some features in a few specialist publications. Educationally I have studied a range of creative outputs and feel I have a holistic view on creativity. EXPERIENCE / SKILLS
