Describe your approach to teaching:

As a designer and master pattern cutter, my teaching methods are designed to encourage creativity while exploring refined craft methodology.

What inspires your own work?

My aim as an accessory designer is to reintroduce lesser known typologies, such as the band, coif and chaperon to the modern dresser, while working through classic bespoke construction and modern cutting methods.
