Currently in my final year of my degree, this is a document highlighting some of the work I have produced in my first 2 years. Ranging from technical and specification packs, brand development, print design, inspiration and garment construction.

BUSINESS
With my experience in fashion
and graphic design, I believe I can
offer a strong skill set. Whether it
be sophisticated, practical and
innovative styles for the menswear
industry or a visually engaging
lookbook to showcase a new
collection.
My style is made up of classic
pieces all put together to create
a timeless look. My wardrobe
consists of polos, buttoned
shirts, neutral coloured pants and
suede desert boots to bring it all
together.
When I am not designing I am
working on my business, going to
the gym and trying to be the best
version of myself possible.

3. PRINTDESIGN
T
extile design is a great skill
I have come to learn. Being
able to take inspiration
from anything and turn it into an
engineered or repeating print. I
think what I like most is the fact that
there are no rules, the boundaries
are limitless as to what you can
create.
Although complex detailed prints
are interesting to look at, I believe
the more simple prints are easier
on the eye and work better for
garments.
At this point in time I am more
confident in Illustrator than
Photoshop when designing prints.
By expanding my knowledge in
Photoshop, I will be able to utilise
the programs advantages.

4. TECHPACKS
W
ith my skill set, I offer
comprehensive knowledge on
how to construct technical and
specification packs.
In this subject I chose to design a
collection for G-Star. Three of my
designed garments were required to
come with tech and spec packs. Here I
learned the detailed thought processes
necessary to produce tech packs, as
they are an instruction manual for the
manufacturer.

5. BRANDING P
robably one of the most important
parts of the fashion industry to me,
is the branding. Creating the brand
identity that you desire has so many key
factors to consider such as; your values,
brand essence and collateral. If any
of these factors do not work together
cohesively then the brand image may be
perceived differently by your customer.
While I thoroughly enjoy deconstructing
a well established label to discover
what makes them successful. The
development of my own brand is a
challenging, yet rewarding experience.

Mood Boards Trend Boards History
INSPIRATION
l
ooking around the world today
at finished projects in fashion,
architecture and engineering, all
of them started with an idea and
an inspiration. It is exciting to
realise that you can take something
existing and transform it into
something new.
Most of my own inspiration
originates from observing other
cultures, nature, and architecture.
I believe these three things offer
endless opportunity for creation.
When creating mood-boards I
attempt to make them visually
exciting and clear so others can
understand my ideas.

7. GARMENTCONSTRUCTION
M
y first year of this course,
we were asked to design
and construct a garment
together with a photoshoot and a
collection. This was the first piece
of womenswear that I have ever
made, created from a silk and wool
blend combined with satin binding,
a mandarin collar, invisible zip and
pressed stud embellishments.
Although my intentions for the future
are focused on menswear, I still
found this project a very rewarding
and educational experience.
Womenswear Range
Currently I am creating a menswear
outfit which consists of white cuffed
pants with a caramel wool jacket.
