About Me.
I'm a very passionate individual with a can-do attitude towards overcoming issues and challenges. I have loved designing since I was a young girl, a clique claim I know! My personal aesthetic is recognisable with bright florals, bold prints, pastel shades, juxtaposed with a grunge alternative feel. I have had the opportunity to explore many different disciplines within the industry so far including print, menswear, womenswear tailoring and sustainability. Allowing me to really explore my creativity and focus on the areas of the industry I am most passionate about. After undertaking research and developing my handwriting, one of the main focuses of my design is to empower consumers with end use functionality, wearability and inclusivity.
My Social justice work
Something that has become very important to me is volunteering. During my time at university, I volunteered for the Student's Union 'Consent is Everything' program. Created by the student support services sexual violence support team, the program was voted for by students to help de-stigmatise and better educate consent and sexual violence awareness. I decided to start this program after the pandemic, after returning to the nightlife environment during a scary period for women's safety with the spiking epidemic. After attending the 'Girls Night In' event in February 2022 I decided I wanted to be part of this amazing program and received the 6-hour training course required to become a facilitator. I participated in the program for over a year and received over 13 hours of training on sexual violence support and effective activism presentation. I wrote a blog post for the Healthy NTU blog and my dissertation explored sexual politics in women's fashion where I investigated the reasons behind victim blaming through clothing.
