About me
Skilled designer with product management and strong commercial experience, keen to develop and push design aesthetics. Works well within a team but also is eager to show innovation and initiative when required.
For more than nine years I have been creatively developing technical design ideas towards both woven and printed fabrics. Each season, my responsibilities include the compilation of trend boards, colour palette building and colour testing, sourcing vintage inspiration, producing each seasons shirt, weave and print picture.From this point forward, I begin designing the fabrics in-house and work closely with the mills and the factory to ensure that the designs are correctly produced and finished. Product management continues to be an ongoing responsibility within my career as a designer, working with my overseas teams in china and Bangladesh.
