I'm offering
I am an established Menswear Designer based in London. I have over 5 years experience within the young men's highstreet and streetwear market - with previous roles including Urban Outfitters, Topman and Mennace Limited. I have professional experience in designing multi-product ranges across all catagories (jersey/sweat, outerwear, knitwear, trousers, shirts, shorts) - independently creating market-ready collections, seeing product through from research, trends, sketching, CADs, tech packs - to fits and styling.
I have a keen interest in sustainable and progressive fashion, and am also working on an independent menswear label, reflecting my own personal design-style and ideology.
I am a highly efficient, adaptable and creatively-motivated designer, and am currently working on a part time freelance basis, so am always open to new exciting projects and opportunities to collaborate or design for Brands I admire.
