Previous Experience

My Story

I am a freelance lingerie, bodywear, and swimwear designer, and a  First Class Honours graduate from London College of Fashion, with a background rooted in both technical excellence and fine art. An award-winning lingerie designer and artist, I offer end-to-end design support, from concept development and trend research through to technical design, range building, Creating production-ready outcomes. 

With over a decade of life drawing, my work is deeply informed by an understanding of the female form. This foundation, combined with a strong knowledge of fit, fabric performance, and construction, allows me to create considered, commercially viable collections that feel intuitive on the body. Nature remains a quiet but constant influence throughout my design process, grounding each collection in softness, strength, and balance.
