About me / About business or organisation:

I have a 1st Class Honours degree from Heriot Watt University (Previously Scottish School of Textiles) in BSc Fashion Technology with Diploma in Industrial Training.

I take my inspiration from Sci-fi and Post-Apocalyptica. I love 1960s styles and colour blocking alongside asymmetry!

Career history / Company history:
