Career overview
Following on from studying for a degree in Fashion Design, I worked as a designer / pattern cutter for a ladieswear supplier for the first 10 years of my career, developing products for numerous high-street brands. Following on from this I worked for a lingerie brand for the last 12 years, initially as a ladieswear Designer / Pattern Cutter and more recently as Technical Manager and then Design and Development Manager. In this role I was responsible for managing the teams and processes involved from initial garment concept and design, all the way through garment development, production and then to delivery. During my time within these roles, I have developed my skills in pattern cutting and manufacture, across numerous product categories, using both manual techniques and state of the art digital technologies.
