About Me

Fashion Design graduate focused on sustainable, timeless fashion.

I am a conscious designer who always puts sustainability at the forefront of my design process. I often incorporate repurposed fabrics into my projects that hold sentimental meaning and will add emotional significance to everything that I create. I focus on timeless silhouettes with a contemporary edge that will make pieces stand out and have visual interest.

Intricate detailing in the manufacturing process is where I find the most joy; it’s in the quiet precision that I feel most connected to my craft. My projects are deeply personal, often inspired by my heritage and culture. I draw from lived experiences to create garments that hold meaning, memory, and identity. To me, fashion is more than design; it’s a way to preserve stories and traditions while building a more conscious future. As I look ahead, I’m excited to continue exploring the intersection of innovation, culture, and sustainability, crafting pieces that speak to both heart and purpose.

INSPIRATION

Memories to Hold.

Memories to Hold is a heartfelt exploration of my family heritage, inspired by the strength and creativity of the women who shaped me. Their influence is woven into every stitch, silhouette, and textile choice, reflecting a legacy of resilience and artistry. Growing up in a working-class household, creativity wasn’t a choice—it was a necessity. This shaped a sentimental collection rooted in timeless shapes and quiet, meaningful details.

MY WORK

PORTFOLIOS

DETAIL

Delicate craftsmanship brings me the greatest fulfilment during my design journey.

I want my designs to reveal countless intricate details the longer you look at them; quiet, carefully considered elements that invite curiosity and closer inspection. It’s in these subtle layers that the story of each garment unfolds. I love to incorporate repurposed materials and details that add tactility and visual interest, allowing each piece to feel textured, thoughtful, and alive with character. Many of the fabrics and embellishments I use are donated by family and friends, making the creative process feel deeply personal. These contributions not only reduce waste but also infuse each design with a sense of shared history and connection. Every stitch holds meaning, and every material carries a past life, giving the garments a soul of their own. My work is a celebration of community, memory, and the quiet power of craftsmanship. By combining sustainable practices with sentimental value, I aim to create fashion that feels intimate, timeless, and emotionally resonant.
