About

An open-minded , focused and adaptable graduate from London college of fashion. With an enthusiastic outlook and a BA (hons) in fashion design and technology menswear.My work reflects and focuses on client needs, taking a responsible and caring approach to design.The latest collection "Cairn: A mountain ahead"-Fitting into a world not designed for them is a consistent concern for the neurodivergent community, and although this issues discussion may focus on the workplace, the education system. Other systems and subtle “norms” within our culture, such as the lack of sensory aware accessible stylishclothing, have a knock-on effect to the quality of daily life. With specific attention to ADHD individuals the collections aim is to provide an aid and tool against the constant stimulation of the world. This will be achieved through three angles.1- Not adding to the struggle, through sensory sensitively informed choices. 2-Utilising meditative Play through textile placement to aid under stimulation.3- Prioritising the user experience and garment functionality, to limit frustrations.

Masculinity and ableism

Exploring the making of a man through the ever evolving ripples of lif, the additional challenges of disability and heavy reliance of others I introduce you to my wonderful Grampa, who taught me to do things because i like them not because i am good at them
