Skills

I bring a well-rounded and hands-on skill set that blends creativity with academic and industry experience. I'm confident in curriculum development and designing engaging, student-centred learning experiences, both in-person and online. My strengths lie in fashion and textile design, with a particular focus on sustainable and inclusive practices. I m skilled in garment construction, pattern cutting, and visual storytelling through fashion illustration, using both manual techniques and digital tools like Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I also have experience with trend forecasting, collection development, and visual merchandising, which allows me to bring industry relevance into the classroom. I m comfortable using a range of digital tools for teaching, presentations, and communication including Canva, Microsoft Office, and fashion-specific CAD software. I pride myself on my ability to work collaboratively, mentor students, manage projects effectively, and communicate clearly with both academic teams and creative professionals.

I am a passionate and highly driven fashion and textiles professional with both industry and educational experience, now seeking to transition into a dedicated teaching and lecturing role in higher education. With a Master s in International Fashion Business (Distinction) from the University of East London and a Bachelor s degree in Fashion Design & Product Development, I bring strong academic grounding alongside hands-on experience in design, garment construction, sustainable fashion, and creative leadership. My background spans multiple roles, from Senior Fashion Designer and Graphic Designer to Camp Leader and Art Workshop Facilitator, allowing me to develop strong communication, mentoring, and curriculum-delivery skills across a range of ages and abilities. I ve successfully led design projects, workshops, and student-centred learning activities that are inclusive, industry-relevant, and creatively engaging. My approach blends practical studio-based teaching with contextual understanding, with a strong commitment to sustainability, digital innovation, and preparing students for success in the evolving creative industries. Now, I m excited to bring my industry insights, academic knowledge, and people-focused approach to a dynamic university setting where I can help shape the next generation of fashion and textile designers.
