Digital Fashion Designer, working on creating exciting collections, and experiences in XR 

I'm a final year undergraduate student at London College of Fashion, studying Fashion Design and Development. I'm a digital fashion designer, working on creating exciting collections, and experiences in XR to showcase those collections. I am passionate about creating a sustainable and circular fashion industry by marrying technology and craftsmanship.


DMC & Me:


I joined the DMC in mid-2020 (ie mid-pandemic). I had been working on fashion tech projects and startups for a while before, so when I heard of the DMC through some friends, I knew it would be the perfect place for me to find like-minded individuals.

The most important thing I've gained from being in the DMC is a network of friends who are always up for discussing exciting ideas and helping you brainstorm/ problem-solve. I've also come across innumerable platforms, applications, artists, tips, and more that I have integrated into my practice. For example, a large part of my digital graduate collection is made using VR painting tools, which I discovered through the DMC. Exploring spaces in VR has inspired me to create my own environments to showcase my collection.
