Adaptive and adventurous fashion & textile designer with a demonstrated history in areas of fashion design, sampling, production, sustainability, marketing, events and PR. Dedicated to understanding brand or company identity and incorporating current events. Through my studies I've enjoyed reflecting on the world around me and translating that into my design approach and other concepts.I started a swimwear line in 2016 that focuses on small runs of limited colourways. The brand discloses full transparency with production and honors designs that are true to our ethos and never trends. This endeavour over the last 5 years so given me many experiences in production including multiple overseas production trips, marketing and sampling specifically in women's and resort wear.I've delved into my additional passion for sustainable production focusing on textiles waste, sustainable production, and innovative design. In 2019 I co-founded a quarterly event in all Major citys of Asutralia and recently now in the UK. We hosts 100 plus sellers of preloved, vintage, local designers who up-cycle and local natural & ethical products. Curated by myself and Aviva Brackenridge to de-stigmatise the image around second-hand clothing and educate consumers about fast fashion and sustainable consumption we created a reoccurring community gathering that continues to grow.I freelance as a fashion consultant by appointment with a sustainable focus and mentored start-up brands through range development, design, brand identity, strategy and production.
