I hold an MA in Fashion Innovation from LJMJ, and a BA (Hons) Degree in Fashion from the University of the West of England.  

for the past fourteen years I have worked as a Fashion Lecturer across a range of fashion disciplines, both nationally and internationally, including Amsterdam Fashion Academy, LJMU, and Leeds Arts University. I am interested in promoting aspects of the provision through my working relationships with international schools.

Inn 2015 I worked as a commercial Fashion Designer for UK high street brands, and have exhibited photography and illustration work nationally. 

My research interests blend fashion collage and illustration, as well as interests in Trend Forecasting and fashion business.
