About

I have been working in the fashion industry since 1998. I have worked for many different companies and I have also run my own Fashion Consultancy Business.

My expertise as an experienced Fashion Designer working on casual tops and soft separates, for young fashion (Older, Younger and Baby – boys and girls), is not only to create shapes but also elevation of the product through the adaptation of graphics, prints, embroideries, embellishments and wash techniques that enhance consumer appeal.
