SELECTED PROJECTS

OVERVIEW

Throughout my career, I have contributed to a variety of selected projects across fashion, sportswear, product development, and brand development. Working with both independent brands and established businesses, I have supported projects across the entire product lifecycle, from concept development and technical design through to sourcing, sampling, and production.

The work presented demonstrates my ability to operate within commercial environments while balancing creative vision, technical requirements, quality standards, and business objectives.

ENFIELD YOUTH FC – CUSTOM TEAMWEAR COLLECTION

Commissioned by Enfield Youth FC, this project involved the end-to-end design and manufacture of a bespoke football kit collection. The objective was to create a modern identity for the club through a range of performance garments that reflected its values while meeting the practical demands of competitive sport.

I led the project through every stage of development, including concept generation, garment graphics, technical design, colour specification, supplier communication, sampling, and final production. The outcome was a fully realised collection that transitioned successfully from digital concept to professionally manufactured garments.

This project highlights my capability to combine creative design with technical product development, delivering commercially viable sportswear from initial brief through to production.

90s TEDDY - Restoration & Reconstruction Project

This project involved the complete restoration of a well-loved teddy bear dating back to the 1990s. The original toy had suffered significant wear over time, requiring careful deconstruction, pattern interpretation, and reconstruction to preserve its original character and proportions.

The restoration process began by documenting the existing construction before carefully dismantling the bear into its individual components. New pattern pieces were developed using the original fabric sections as references, allowing damaged areas to be accurately recreated while maintaining the toy's original shape and personality.

The project required precision sewing, material selection, seam reconstruction, and careful assembly to ensure the finished piece remained faithful to the original design. Beyond repairing the toy, the project demonstrated an understanding of pattern development, construction techniques, and the importance of craftsmanship when restoring sentimental objects.

CHASERS - Headwear Development

Chasers Caps

Freelance Product Design

This freelance project involved designing a collection of trucker caps for Chasers, translating the client's vision into a series of commercially viable concepts while maintaining a strong and recognisable brand identity.

The development process included concept generation, logo placement, colour exploration, material selection, and refinement through multiple design iterations. A range of colourways and graphic applications were explored to provide the client with a selection of options that balanced brand consistency with commercial appeal.

The project focused on creating production-ready concepts by considering construction, embroidery placement, material combinations, and overall wearability. Working closely with the client throughout the design process ensured the final proposals aligned with both the brand aesthetic and customer expectations.

Global Sourcing & Production

Building Products Through Global Collaboration

Successful product development extends far beyond the design process. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong understanding of global sourcing, supplier relationships, and manufacturing, working closely with mills, factories, and specialist manufacturers across Europe, Asia, and Africa.

By attending international textile exhibitions, sourcing innovative materials, and collaborating directly with production partners, I have gained valuable insight into every stage of the manufacturing process—from selecting fabrics and trims to sampling, quality control, and production planning.

This experience has strengthened my ability to balance creative intent with commercial viability, ensuring products are developed with the right materials, manufacturing methods, and production partners from concept through to completion.
