Teaching
As a Senior Lecturer in Fashion Practice at UWL, I combine both extensive industry experience with over 20 years as an educator. I am actively involved in the development of sustainable and responsible fashion practice within the school of LSFMD, collaborating, creating and implementing live industry briefs relating to fashion social action projects.
My current academic practice allows learners to actively connect with real world issues, engage with expert opinion, take on specific job roles, collaborate within teams and apply their learning to viable creative industry outcomes.
