I have over 10 years experience within the fashion and textile industry as a women’s/menswear multi-product garments/accessories designer/dressmaker and work with clients on a range of projects; from design development, product illustration, to pattern production & technical packs and design technology part time fully qualified teacher in secondary education.
I have worked with some of the worlds biggest corporate retailers, such as British Airways, Thomas Cook, Royal Mail, NHS, Boots, Asda, KFC, Waitrose, and many more, also some of the best luxury designers including Temperley London and Caroline Castigliano as well as many small independent start up labels and agencies. This includes researching and analysing current fashion trends, producing and presenting mood boards/trend packs, range plans also design illustration boards.
Through different roles I've been able to gain an in depth understanding of the fashion industry as a whole, from initial concept through production and to marketing, merchandising and selling. I have worked with a diverse array of customers in various industries, thus it is important to understand a client's design brief in full and develop strong personable relationships. Even if I'm only working on a small project for a client, for instance a design project, I feel my overall experience from corporate to luxury high end garments help me to deliver a better product, as I know how to create something both aesthetically pleasing as well as commercially viable.
As well as providing design and technical services, I have developed a new luxury lingerie brand named AEMILIA DESIGN, specialising in handmade couture lingerie & loungewear designed & manufactured in England for sizes 6-28. I specialise in custom, tailor made garments in this sector - www.aemilia-design.com
I have a wealth of knowledge and a data base of contacts for sample, product and branding development which I can offer and advise in.
Please feel free to contact me with more portfolio examples or assistance, I'm always happy to answer any questions no matter the project size and have a quick turnaround.
