Sheffield Hallam University

Fashion Design MFA

I am a recent graduate with a Master of Arts in Fashion Design, bringing over 2 years of hands-on experience as a Junior Fashion Designer and more than a year in luxury retail. With 5 years of academic training in fashion design, I possess a thorough understanding of the design process, research methodologies, and the implementation of fashion trends. My professional journey includes a notable year in a senior role in luxury retail at Harrods, where I honed my expertise in client and team management, visual merchandising, and navigating the challenges of the luxury retail environment. As the founder and designer of my own firm, I have sharpened my skills in market-driven design implementation, Adobe Suite proficiency, CAD design, and trend analysis/fashion forecasting. My leadership capabilities were recognized as I was appointed the lead for fashion shows for three consecutive years, leveraging my strengths in team management and organizational skills. My diverse experience and comprehensive skill set make me a formidable contestant in the Only Natural Design Competition.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
