About Me
Graduate Sportswear designer at De Montfort University
I’m a sportswear designer focused on creating functional, innovative, and style-driven apparel that supports both performance and everyday movement. With a background in trend forecasting, technical garment development, and performance textiles, I combine creative direction with technical expertise.
I incorporate elements of my own heritage into my work, blending cultural influences with modern sportswear to create bold, expressive, and forward-thinking designs. My experience includes developing tech packs, constructing prototypes, and ensuring fit and function align with athletic needs. I'm passionate about sustainable design and using advanced materials to shape the future of sportswear with purpose and identity.
INSPIRATION
Indian Cultural Football Fusion
My concept was inspired by the traditional Punjabi attire I grew up with—especially the intricate embroidery and vibrant colours that have always been a part of my cultural identity. As a passionate football fan and long-time supporter of Arsenal, I was drawn to the idea of combining the expressive details of my heritage with the bold, technical world of modern football apparel.
Being surrounded by the rich textures and craftsmanship of Indian garments from a young age sparked my appreciation for their beauty and storytelling. This connection inspired me to reimagine those cultural elements within performance sportswear, blending tradition with innovation in a way that feels both personal and forward-thinking.

DETAIL
Print & Embroidery Development
Embroidery: I’ve added a distinctive and blend to Football logos by incorporating common plants grown in Punjab, India. An example would be; Madagascar Periwinkle, Chinese Hibiscus and Peregrina. These logos focuses on the elements of football culture, enriching the visual appeal of my collection. Print: I’ve added a distinctive blend to the make of my own sponsorship design by incorporating a few of Arsenal’s sponsors. As well as, a couple of well known Indian drink brands and some sponsored logos/ brands would include location, which as ‘visit Rwanda’ so therefore instead, I would incorporate, where I’ve come from (Rushden, Northamptonshire). As well as my fashion account, to promote myself as a form of sponsor
