About
MA Innovative Fashion Production graduate from London College of Fashion, UAL, focusing on sustainable fashion, textile innovation, and material research. My practice explores sustainable dyeing systems, textile processes, and the relationship between traditional craftsmanship, material experimentation, and responsible fashion practices.
DYELIGHT: A Sustainable Dye Decision-Support Framework
This project explores sustainable dye systems through the comparison of natural, synthetic and bio-based colour pathways. Combining fieldwork, material experimentation and fastness testing, it develops a structured dye library and traffic-light evaluation framework to assess dye options beyond colour alone. The research translates environmental, technical and practical considerations into a designer-facing decision-support tool, enabling transparent comparison and supporting early-stage material selection.
