My work draws on my experience as an artist and designer with an international exhibition record, as well as my experience of teaching at institutions such as the Royal College of Art in London (MA Fashion, Bio platform). During our mentoring sessions, I provide substantive feedback, encourage experimentation, and offer a clear structure, all of which are tailored to your specific situation.
