ABOUT

I’m currently a Senior Designer in the Balmain Embroidery Department, and have had responsibility for the Menswear Embroidery collection since September 2023.

My experience at Balmain has allowed me to dream, explore and create, while expanding and refining my skills.

Trust and space to grow has meant that my role has encompassed many different specialities. I now have years of experience in research, embroidery sampling, launching of runway and commercial embroidery pieces with suppliers in India, Italy and France, jewellery design, the launching and development of jewellery and metal work, graphic design, simulations of garment and jewellery design and artwork placements. This has included daily work with the Adobe programs, hand drawing and painting, and pattern cutting including 3D structural design. I have worked on numerous seasons of tailoring both mens and women's pieces, with a speciality in fine tailoring with embroidery details as well as construction of heavy embroidered pieces with 3D structures. 

On the management and leadership side I have years of experience in budget handling and price negotiations for collections. I currently manage a team of designers and graphic designers in the Men’s Embroidery Department to form the collections.

I have a love of engineering in my designs; working out how to create structures and put materials together successfully to bring a piece to life. With the support of a team who share my vision, I believe that making or creating anything is possible.
