I intend to leave a mark in the world through original ideas using bold colours and daring shapes.

I want to make new timeless patterns.

Learn about fabrics.

I am curious and love to explore new techniques,

I love challenging myself.

I am passionate about embroidery.

I would like to create unique garments.

I am intrested in producing innovative pieces.

I want my creations to be owned.

Worn confidently and boldly down the high street.

I want people to feel funky and authentic.

I want it to be accesible, visible and meaningful.

I want my garments to charm my customers from the window shops and then accompany them home.

My creations should raise memories and be treasured and passed on for generations to enjoy.

I am a very visiual thinker.

My Sheer Coat Project

 The project was to create a sheer coat. The  inspiration had to be a personal love and a hate. I love sneakers but hate vandalism.

Inspired by the sneaker youth culture and the graffiti expression of vandalism.

The sole of the shoe is associated with many different brands.

Some people take great pride in the 'foot prints' they leave in the world through their actions.

Mixed collage and drawings. In the 1950s clothes tended to be structured and the shoes were plain, in contrast clothes nowadays tend to be loose and unstructured whilst our sneakers are very structured and detailed. I wanted to create a structured and detailed bomber jacket.
