Its wonderful to see the images in print and a great showcase of the collection and the shoot team's hardwork.

A Gift for a Friend...The reaction!

I gave a work colleague a personalised baby blanket for her maternity leave present, and as I teach on a fashion course, what better gift to give than a one of a kind textile piece.

She was thrilled with the gift and I hope that she and her baby will enjoy it.

New Illustrative Work!

As I'm currently in between design projects, I've created a new section on my online portfolio dedicated to my illustrative work. Some are from established projects, others are just for fun!

A Gift for a Friend

A work colleague of mine is leaving to have a baby and I wanted to surprise her with a gift. She did not know the gender of the baby at the time so I had to make it neutral for a boy or girl. She loves anything Disney related and I wanted to create something along that theme for her that was special and unique.

Eco and Sustainable Design Work

I have always been interested in ecological and sustainable techniques and I wanted to come up with a new way of recycling old clothes; to give them a new purpose...

So I came up with the idea of 'Reshirt', reusing existing products and reshaping them using a 'no-waste' concept (manipulating the fabric to fit instead of removing the excess and throwing it away, thereby increasing the impact on the environment).

you can check out the research development and design work here:
