About

With a robust background in fashion design and branding, I hold a Bachelor of Applied Design in Branded Fashion from Billy Blue College of Design and specialized training in haute couture embroidery from Ecole Lesage. My professional journey began as an Embroidery Development Coordinator at Ralph & Russo, where I honed my skills in coordinating embroidery designs for haute couture and ready-to-wear collections. I then advanced to roles such as Graphic Designer & Manager at ORDRE.com and Lead Graphic Designer at The Birley Clubs, where I led design projects and ensured brand consistency. At Nyetimber, I spearheaded art direction for campaigns and branding initiatives. Currently, as a Senior Designer & Art Director at EGV Studio, I lead creative projects and oversee design teams, ensuring high-quality visual outputs. My career is marked by a commitment to enhancing brand visibility and driving growth through innovative design solutions.
