About me

I was born in London and trained at Harrow College of Art graduating with a BA Honours degree in fashion design.

My Work

In 1999 I was at INFORMODA FASHION where I was forecasting and predicting next seasons' key trends. I also compiled illustrated design boards showing the new season' looks and signature themes as well as researching fabric predictions.

In 2000 worked with JANE FULLER MANAGEMENT producing costume design, and styling for clients such as Mountain Dew and Martini and I also worked with KOH SAMUI producing and designing a range of womens dresses and separates and a range of mens summer shirts and jeans.

In 2001 I worked with SIGN OF THE TIMES in London designing and producing a limited-edition ranges of mens and womens wear and accessories as well as designing a range of unique womens wear separates and handbags produced for the shops' own label.

In 2001 I designed and produced a range of hanbags and purses expressly for the OBLIOS DREAM in New York. Also in 2001 I designed, produced and sold bespoke peices for TOMORROW IS TOO LATE in London.

For TANK in London I designed produced and sold womens capsule collection.

For SONY MUSIC MANAGEMENT in London I designed and produced costume clothing as well as styling for clients including the Brit Awards, Top Of The Pops, and Mariah Carey.

I have also worked with stylists and photographers on a number of advertising campaigns and most recently devoted my time to providing personal shopping services and styling as well as continuing to design clothes.

My combination of design and styling has proved incredibly successful with a good number or regular clients and a steady stream of new work.

In 1991 I was a finalist in the Grolsch Question of Style awards.
