During my time at the Royal School of Needlework, I was lucky enough to be a part of many live projects, working alongside industry professionals. These opportunities helped me gain experience working to different briefs and adapting but also maintaining my own style to reach objectives.
Highlights include The Coronation of King Charles III, as well as The Red Dress and a collaboration with Alexander McQueen and the RSN.
