About the Designer

As a graduate of B.A. (Honours) in Fashion Design with Applied Textiles, my creative focus 
centres on the intricacies of textile and garment design, supported by hands-on experience in production. I have a strong interest in working with natural fibres, particularly wool, and in exploring the unique possibilities they of fibres in both traditional and contemporary contexts.

My overarching career goal is to establish a meaningful presence within the fashion and textiles industry, with a focus on sustainability and craftsmanship. I am especially drawn to the rich legacy of Irish craft traditions and am eager to contribute to and learn from the art and craft world.
