Work With Me

I work across creative education, fashion, research and organisational practice. From consultancy and academic engagements to pattern development and collaborative projects, I bring together long industry experience, inclusive pedagogy and practical making.

If you have a project, programme, idea or organisation you would like me to contribute to, this is where we can begin.

For Designers & Creative Brands

Pattern Cutting & Development

I support designers and creative brands with bespoke pattern drafting, development from an idea or design, toile and prototype work, pattern adjustment and fit development.

This can be a focused technical intervention or part of a wider design-development process, depending on what you are building and where you are in the process.

Creative Practice

Creative Collaborations

I am open to selected collaborations that bring together fashion, making, education, culture, community and creative practice. This may include work with cultural organisations, brands, artists, creative teams and community partners.

If the idea sits between disciplines or does not fit neatly into a conventional service, that is often a useful place to start a conversation.
