I am a womenswear designer specialising in casual and formal clothing with a handmade couture feel. My graduate collection Sentinel Patina is inspired by the quiet presence of time, exploring how garments can embody memory, resilience and beauty shaped by age. I work with second-hand textiles and sustainable practices, allowing imperfections and fading to remain as part of the narrative. I draw on the contrast between vintage lingerie and military uniform, using fabric manipulation and layering to merge softness with strength. I specialise in knitwear, digital print and CLO3D design software, blending traditional craftsmanship with digital processes. My design ethos is emotionally led, creating garments that feel personal, protective and timeless. I aim to challenge the disposable nature of fashion by offering pieces that endure and evolve with the wearer, celebrating the marks of life and the stories they carry.
