I’ve always loved making something out of nothing.

​

My foray into fashion and costume began as far back as childhood when I would raid my Granny's ragbag to make my dolls clothes. I would sew them mini replica's of outfits I'd seen in magazines, films or music videos..

​

As a teenager I began creating my own clothes, even making patterns out of newspaper. This was partially from a desire to be different and partly out of necessity from having a low clothing allowance. I would scoure charity shops and jumble sales for vintage clothing that could be reworked.

​

I have made a career out of my love for creating, and went on to graduate from The London College of Fashion with a Higher National Diploma in Clothing. I worked as a designer, pattern cutter, seamstress and studio manager in the wedding industry, for many years.

​

I set up my own business, Love Couture when I realized there was no opportunity for women to express their own personalities through bridal wear.  I also wanted people to own something they could wear over again rather than just the once.

​

In 2016 I made a big change in my life, not only moving to Vancouver but also returning to education as an adult. I wanted to upgrade my fashion skills and graduated in 2018 with a Fashion Design and Production Diploma.

​

Since graduating, I have had some amazing experiences in transferring my skills over to fashion, theatre and film. Vancouver is such a wonderfully diverse city, full of creativity.  I'm looking forward to whatever adventure life throws in my path.
