I am a 2023 Bachelor of Design in Fashion graduate from Otago Polytechnic Dunedin. I value fashion as one of the greatest forms of self expression, and I find a continuous sense of reward in being part of the world of design. I place a strong importance on sustainability, and supporting small & independent designers. I love being in a role that allows me to exercise my creativity and strengthen skill sets I have learnt during my studies. I also aim to be part of a brand/company that is sustainability-focused. As a designer I aim to create pieces that combine elegance and whimsy for results that invigorate the wearer and they'll want to keep in their wardrobe forever. I believe one of the first steps in practicing sustainability with fashion, on an individual level, is to connect with your own personal style expression and cherish the clothes you own.
