About me

About me _____
As a fashion designer graduating from Arts University Bournemouth with a specialism in pattern cutting and textiles, my work is grounded in conceptual storytelling and material experimentation. My practice focuses on using the body as a canvas for sculptural expression, where garments move beyond functionality and into the realm of visual communication.
Through my graduate collection Undulate, I explored the theme of dementia and its profound, often unspoken, impact on individuals and society. I was driven by the question: How can clothing speak when words fail? Through abstract silhouettes and unconventional construction methods, I sought to translate the fragmentation of memory and identity into physical form.

Undulate
My design approach is avant-garde and emotionally charged. I work instinctively with form and fabric, using pattern cutting not only as a technical skill but as a means of deconstruction and reconstruction. Textiles play a central role in my narrative; I select and manipulate materials to evoke fragility, resilience, and transformation.
I am inspired by the power of clothing to evoke empathy and provoke conversation. In my practice, fashion is not just worn, it is felt, experienced, and interpreted. I strive to create work that lingers in the mind, long after the garment has left the body.
