About me

I am a handbag, footwear and accessories designer with over 10 years experience working with leading international retailers such as River Island, New Look and ASOS, as well as independent brands and start up companies.

Specialised in handbags, small leather goods, footwear, jewellery, soft/knitted accessories, print design, sports/lifestyle and bespoke metal trims. I also often work on packaging ideas for my clients.

In my career as a designer I have refined the ability to combine creativity with technical precision. A lot of the projects I have worked on are centred around technically challenging product (e.g baby changing bags, tech cases, gym bags) which have to be user friendly and often suit a particular function. I utilise my background in trend-lead fashion to create designs that look great as well as being functional.

From initial idea to finished product, I support my client's with in-depth research and trend consultation, concept development, innovative designs, technical expertise, sample development and manufacture.
