Having completed Foundation, BA and MA at UAL, I have a deep and up-to-date understanding of how fashion education works — from course expectations and application processes to portfolio standards and final presentations.

I offer guidance in:
- Application and portfolio preparation (Foundation, BA, MA)
- Concept and research development
- Draping, pattern cutting and garment construction
- Fabric sourcing and material understanding
- Collection planning, merchandising and product development
- Art direction for lookbooks and campaigns
- Brand positioning and early-stage business strategy

My teaching approach balances intuition and technical skill. I help you trust your instincts while expanding your knowledge through process-based learning. We actively work to overcome fear, creative block or imposter syndrome, so you can express your ideas confidently and with clarity. I teach with empathy, cultural awareness and patience, especially for students working in a second language.
Extra information
I am a London-based fashion designer and graduate of the MA Fashion Womenswear programme at Central Saint Martins (2024). During my time there, I developed a distinct design identity, culminating in a graduate collection featured in publications such as Vogue, The New York Times, Dazed and WWD.

I previously trained in Haute Couture at Maison Rabih Kayrouz in Paris and worked in product development at Erdem London. I was shortlisted for the Yoox Net-a-Porter Modern Artisan Prize and was a Fashion Trust Arabia finalist. I am now the founder and creative director of my own label.

My lessons guide you to execute ideas thoroughly while cultivating your unique design voice, whether for academic preparation, portfolio building, or launching a collection.

A solution based approach to intentional design.
I tailor each session especially for you, whether that’s in person or online, offering a safe space to discuss your designs and ideas.
I offer an initial complimentary 30 minute call so we can define your individual requirements. The purpose of this call is to also to determine whether we have the right chemistry and will work well together. Following this I create a plan of action for us to help you achieve your goal. Previous work/a portfolio is great to see, if you’re a beginner we can discuss what you’d like to learn and achieve. I am very honest with my approach, and will help you turn your weaknesses into strengths, as well as encouraging you to develop your own unique design style, brand & process (and the confidence to execute!). I will encourage you to think outside the box & realise potential routes to your goal you hadn’t previously considered.

I’m helping you with:
• Collection curation, line up, technical drawings.
• Design development, through drawings & draping.
• Concept boards, concept development; Broadening your perspective & exploring your creativity.
• Creating a vision and portfolio that demonstrates your designer DNA.
• Organising photo shoots, contacting models, photographers (film & digital), make up artists, hair stylists, studios, retouchers, milliners, shoe designers, knitters.
• NDA’s & contracts.
• How to speak with factories to ensure the prototype meets your design specifications, construction specs & BOM.
• Organising bespoke elements, for example: 3D printed buttons, gold and silver work, CLO3D, laser cut features, digital and hand embroidery, custom knits.
• Collecting the right ingredients & contacts to start a fashion label.
• How to create a story for your brand that is authentic & timeless.
• Improving your drawing & collaging skills.
• Where to find amazing fabrics, papers & trimmings!
• Developing original textiles.
• Creating a pattern, and grading it.
• Using a sewing machine, domestic & industrial.
• Organising pattern cutting & seamstresses for toiles, one off garments & limited run lines.
• Designing your own fabric & having it made. Dyeing fabric. Creating your own print & having it screen printed/sublimated/digitally printed. Designing an embroidery and having it produced.
• Brand reports, data/competitor analysis, market positioning, SWOT, consumer purchase drivers, pricing architecture.
• Launching a collection/brand for the first time.

I offer a range of packages as well as singular sessions to assist you in achieving your goals.

DISCOVER YOUR DESIGNER DNA
Ideal if you’re feeling a bit lost or struggling to identify your USP. What are you changing through your designs? What is the glistening detail that defines you as a Designer? For those who daydream about working in Fashion, want to start their own label or are applying to a Fashion Degree... In this course we will discover your unique essence as a designer, you’ll learn how to bring your vision into reality. I teach you the basics of fashion design, and the fundamentals of garment construction specific to your collection. I’ll introduce you to potential sample studios, seamstresses, models, photographers and stylists that may work well for your personal brand. We will explore different ways of researching, drawing, collaging, discover new textiles and fabrics, develop a collection and create an authentic story that will captivate your audience.

COLLECTION CURATION
Ideal for those who need direction in executing their first collection, are in final year of uni, or are strapped for time and would like to open up some time for other priorities. Pattern cutting, seamstresses, technical drawings, dyeing, prints, embroidery, bespoke elements, hats, shoes, fit models, photographers, make up artists, hair stylists, photo shoots are all expedited to ensure the experience and results are optimised to couture level. Infrastructure & supply chain for sampling & production in your country of choice for garments, bespoke elements, milliners & jewellery are available.

PRISTINE PORTFOLIO
Ideal if you are applying to your dream degree, job or incubator programme. Presentation, Layout, Collaging, Drawing, Draping and Textiles are all integral elements of a strong Portfolio. I help you improve a current portfolio or create one for the first time.

Having a mentor not only offers a critical eye and advice on how to develop, but is also a chance to speak openly with someone who can understand the emotional struggles associated with working in Fashion industry. Part of my approach is to help you enjoy your work, and to find a way of making your work work for you.

Any questions you have about working in the industry or studying a Fashion degree I am more than happy to help with. I provide extra support throughout the week via WhatsApp, if you need advice between sessions, just drop me a message!

I also provide workshops in the following areas;

1. RESEARCH Sourcing eye-catching, cohesive research is essential in providing a strong framework for a collection. In this workshop we’ll look at different research methods, how to make the research personal to your brief, and how to interact with it for use in the collection.

2. CREATE A PATTERN FOR YOUR OWN DESIGN I will educate you on the fundamentals of luxury level patterns, the tools you need & how to draft a pattern. With a picture or drawing of your design, we will create a draft paper pattern, a toile in calico and a final pattern for your design.

3. CREATE A STORY FOR YOUR BRAND What is the glistening detail that defines your brand? In this mind altering course we’ll explore how your brand is special & how to make it appeal to your target audience. We’ll write a brand manifesto and envision how you’ll bring the ideas to fruition.

FASHION THERAPY BY THE HOUR. I offer hourly sessions on Zoom. Ideal if you are looking for ongoing mentorship or help with a project/deadline.

DEADLINES If you have an upcoming deadline you need help achieving, I am able to offer extra help on weekends and evenings to help you achieve your goal.

Sessions are available online or in person.
My company is unique in the fact it is the first to offer fashion therapy from the comfort of your own home, studio or chaise longue, anywhere in the world. I come to you.
If you have any questions or want to discuss further, drop me a message!
