About me

I am a Creative Pattern Cutter, Pattern Grader, Dressmaker and Tailor with extensive experience developing garments across womenswear, menswear and childrenswear.
I have a real passion for pattern cutting and enjoy turning creative ideas, sketches and references into accurate, well-fitting and practical patterns. My strengths combine creative pattern cutting, technical expertise and hands-on garment construction.
I have deep knowledge of Gerber AccuMark and strong experience with CLO 3D, including combining both programs during pattern development. I use 2D and 3D technology to explore shape and proportion, check fit, identify problems and refine patterns efficiently.
My background as a dressmaker and tailor has also given me excellent knowledge of sewing technology and garment construction. I understand how fabrics, seams and construction techniques affect the final garment and apply this knowledge directly when developing patterns.
I am experienced in creative and flat pattern cutting, draping, block manipulation, grading, fitting, alterations and bespoke garment construction. I enjoy solving technical and fitting challenges and finding practical solutions while maintaining the designer's vision.
I am passionate about continually developing my skills, exploring new technology and finding more efficient and sustainable ways of working, including pattern cutting for waste reduction.
