About
Through my work and research, I explore creative practice approaches to fashion design for sustainability. In particular, I am interested in how garments can be better designed for extended use and re-circulation within a circular economy. To this end, my research focuses on the potential of forecasting the likely use of garments within the design process, to produce clothing with the capacity to be 're-fashioned' by future wearers. I bring this perspective to my teaching where I mentor students at all levels to develop innovative, speculative, practice-based solutions to the problems of the global fashion industry.
