Womenswear Designer | MA Fashion (Distinction) – Kingston University Passionate and detail-oriented womenswear designer with a Master’s degree in Fashion from Kingston University, graduating with distinction. My final collection was selected as one of the top collections in the MA Fashion class of 2022, and I had the opportunity to represent the university at London Fashion Week through a digital showcase. I also exhibited my collection at Different Gallery, London. I bring a strong understanding of garment construction, fabric selection, and fit, creating high-fidelity designs that balance creativity with commercial awareness. I excel in translating concepts into detailed CADs and comprehensive tech packs, and I’m confident using Adobe Illustrator for digital illustration alongside traditional hand-drawing and iconographic research. I thrive in collaborative environments, have strong communication skills, and pride myself on being highly organized, adaptable, and efficient under pressure. I’m curious by nature, always eager to learn and grow — both professionally and personally. Traveling and connecting with diverse cultures inspires my creativity and fuels my design perspective.
