Since graduating from the London College of Fashion with a BA (Hons) in Fashion Studies, I have gained work placements as a designers/sample room assistant at both Michelle Lowe-Holder and Jane Mac-Millan. During which time I was selected to show my graduate collection 'Cut and Reveal' on the final day of Alternative Fashion Week 2005. I then worked freelance as a pattern cutter, sample cutter and machinist for new labels including Hemyca (womenswear). After which I become employed as a sample cutter for designer Shirin Guild. Recently I completed a Short Course in Bag Design and Communication at Central St Martins.
