Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I have loved fashion since I was very young. One of my designs was even sold in London. I have over 40 years experience in fashion designing/ sketching. My Nan, mum, sister, and daughters have all been involved in being very creative. You could say that sewing is in my blood and threaded through my veins. I love encouraging students to love fashion, to think for themselves, and be creative. Because they indeed are amazing fashion designers.
