I'm offering
Hi, I am a fashion designer focusing on print design for fashion. I have an array of skills that are highly tuned towards brand consistency, upcoming trends, creativity and quality design. I have strong experience in design from my previous full time studio role which has involved working with many clients including Boohoo, Pretty Little Thing and Lucy Locket to my current role as Head of Design at Murci.
I also currently work as Head of Design at Manchester based fashion brand Murci. I have previously worked as a fashion designer at a garment supplier who works with PLT, I Saw It First, In The Style and BoohooMAN focussing on jerseywear and knitwear. Having worked in both the supplier end and buying end of the fashion industry I have a vast knowledge of the supply chain, how it works and can give advice especially to start up brands.
My strongest skills are creating seamless and placement print designs for fashion as well as drawing fashion flat CADs to send to manufacturers. However, I can put my creative hand to anything. My degree and diploma have given me the knowledge to idea generate creatively and my work experience has given me the technical skill and confidence to action any ideas and inspirations.
I have an extensive knowledge of the fashion supply chain thanks to my roles working with suppliers. If you are a new fashion brand looking for advice on where to begin with manufacturers dont hesitate to contact me. I offer paid consultation services and can help advise and guide you when working with your manufacturer, what fabrics you could use, understanding the techniques that your product will undergo and I can also create and supply your fashion flat drawings to send to the manufacturer.
So if you are looking for someone who can:
Design seamless and placement print designs.
Create fashion CAD/basic tech packs for your fashion brand.
Help and advise your the first steps for manufacture for a new fashion brand and are looking to expand your knowledge of the supply chain.
Then you have found the right person.
Please feel free to peruse my projects below or contact me direct for consultation for your fashion brand.
Have a great day!

Fashion Graphic Designer and Stylist
Kukubird UK.
Whilst working at Kukubird, my main responsibilities included designing prints and garments for the brand and working on clients designs and requests. I not only worked on in house products but also worked on product developments for brands such as Boohoo and Locket Loves.
I started working with Kukubird in early 2018 as a freelance designer and made my way up to full time head designer!
My role covered a lot of creativity over the company spanning from design to styling and creative direction to also liaising with potential new clients at exhibitions.
Being the head designer at the company meant i had a lot of creative freedom and i also got to see my designs from each process - from first design to shooting the garment i had a hand in it all.
I left the company to travel South East Asia but had to return to the UK due to COVID-19 and am looking to expand my freelance portfolio!

Freelance Styling Assistant
Missguided.
My role at Missguided was to assist the stylist in making sure the correct outifts were shot on the right model. I would assist in steaming the garments in the mornings and keep a keen eye on any tags or other eyesores when the model is working with the photographer. I would also keep the studio and clothes rails clean and tidy as well as re-kimble all tags once the garment has been shot.
