About

I am an enthusiastic and driven designer who takes pride in my work. My confident communication skills allow me to put forward ideas, both when leading and being part of a team, whilst also understanding and having a considered approach, allowing others to put their ideas and views across. I thrive on demanding environments and love being “thrown in at the deep end”, as this is where I feel you learn the most when fully immersing yourself in something. My eagerness to learn and better myself as well as others, while also being a perfectionist allows me to accomplish whatever I set out to achieve. However, sometimes imperfection is perfection when it comes to all types of art, creating unique and interesting ideas not seen before.True creativity is the exploration of environment, mind, and body. Implement a fluid mindset, allow for mistakes and "bad" ideas, as they lead to interesting and unique outcomes and in some cases the best results.

Psychedelic renaissance

Psychedelic Renaissance focusses on the research going into the use of psychedelics to treat mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Taking inspiration from my environment, psychedelic art and architecture whilst integrating that with practical, stylish and comfortable garments, I have created a contemporary streetwear collection that can be worn anywhere, by anyone, at any time. Representing the psychedelic treatment through fabric choices and hand finished elements was important for me in order to show the work that is being done to treat patients. Through doing this, it allows for consumers to represent themselves how they want to, with each piece being versatile enough to wear with any other piece of the collection, through a carefully selected earthy, hallucinogenic colour palette. This is the debut collection for my Made-to-Order contemporary streetwear brand, Agnostics.
