This is my official graduate portfolio which represents my final year of Fashion Design, rooted in my Jamaican heritage and personal exploration of culture, identity and craftsmanship. A key influence was my grandad and his connection to Rastafarianism, which shaped my understanding of colour, spirituality and cultural expression. Through research, material experimentation and garment development, I created a body of work that reflects both personal storytelling and design development. Each page documents my process from concept to outcome, shaped by experimentation, problem-solving and refinement. This project reflects my growth as a designer and my commitment to creating work that is meaningful, intentional and culturally grounded.
