Works

Crafting the Past

I’m a designer and maker specialising in handmade historical clothing. With museum-quality garments from the bronze age through to the twentieth century, my work aims to explore the stories of past people and cultures through the clothes they wore.

For the Present

My background in design and art direction shapes how I reimagine the past for the present. My contemporary work draws on both modern design principles and historical elements to create unique modern garments, routed in our past.

How it's made matters

That’s why I use historical methods to recreate historical clothing. Researching, patterning, and constructing garments as they once were. Because when the process is authentic, the past isn’t just represented - it’s revived.

Making Meaning

People connect with history when they experience it. I aim to make the past tangible through the creative process and, in a world where production is often distant and anonymous, to encourage a renewed connection with how things are made.
