TRAINING & FOUNDATIONS

 

I graduated with a First-class BA (Hons) in Costume Design and Practice. My work is grounded in tailoring, blending womenswear and menswear, and focused on creating garments that reflect and elevate the wearer’s individuality. Early training on Savile Row and theatre placements at the National Theatre strengthened my understanding of traditional techniques and precision.

CREATIVE APPROACH

I am passionate about designing with purpose, creating costumes that bring character to life while considering sustainability beyond materials – from preserving traditional techniques to thoughtful collaboration with performers and colleagues. I focus on craft, identity, and care, striving to contribute to an evolving industry that values both people and process.

My final-year collection, Liberation, explored freedom of expression through historical references, symbolism, and storytelling, with each look embodying a form of social, cultural, or emotional release.
