Dreaming of becoming a fashion designer or build a successful portfolio? It’s easier than you think!My teaching philosophy centres around helping students discover their instinctive creative voices through experimental drawing techniques. I believe in the power of intuitive creation, where students are encouraged to move beyond traditional methods, tap into their creativity, and embrace innovative approaches to drawing. This process empowers them to build a strong personal style while gaining the technical skills necessary to express their ideas confidently.
As a lecturer at Central Saint Martin's i use my years of teaching experience to help every student unlock their potential, guiding them in finding their unique artistic identity and confidently navigating their creative journeys. Whether you're looking to build a portfolio, develop new drawing skills, or simply explore new creative approaches, I offer a personalised, hands-on approach that meets each student where they are, helping them grow and evolve as an artist. Fashion design isn't just about learning techniques; it's about discovering and expressing your instinctive creative voice.
In my lessons, we’ll focus on intuition-driven design—moving beyond traditional, formulaic methods and embracing a more personal, organic approach to creating fashion. Designing with intuition: You’ll learn how to trust your instincts in the design process, whether you’re sketching new ideas or creating full garments. Exploring fabric and silhouette: Through hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to experiment with different materials, shapes, and textures to create unique and bold designs. Breaking traditional boundaries: My approach challenges you to explore unconventional forms, colours, and patterns, encouraging designs that reflect your own artistic vision.
