About me

Hi there, I'm Cathryn!!

Im a senior freelance fashion designer with over 17 years of industry experience. My journey into fashion began when I was just seven years old, after receiving my very first 'fashion wheel'. That moment sparked a lifelong passion.
I spent many fulfilling years working in-house as a senior womenswear designer in both the UK and Australia, designing for high street brands. During that time, I led design teams, mentored junior designers, and played a key role in creating best-selling collections.

Over time, my passion shifted toward helping independent labels and small businesses thrive. Today, I focus on partnering with small businesses to bring their creative visions to life and support their growth in a competitive industry.

I'm proudly based in Cornwall and I am lucky to call Falmouth my home. Im surrounded by inspiring landscapes that fuel my creativity and deepen my commitment to sustainable design choices that help protect the planet. You will most likely find me at a beach or exploring the local coast path.
Outside of work, I'm a wife and a busy mum to an energetic 8 year old boy. I love to be out in nature, and you will most likely find me exploring the Cornish coast through long walks, sea dips, and curling up with a good book and visiting local coffee shops. A latte for me...!
