About ME

Hi! My name is Crystal and I’m a London-based womenswear designer with 14 years of experience in the industry, but my creative journey really started long before, completely captivated by my grandmother's love of crafts. She was a traditional lace maker, embroiderer, and beader, and she taught me how to sew. Her creativity was like a spark that lit up my own passion for design, and without her, I wouldn’t be where I am today. She’s my original muse, and every sketch I draw is a nod to her influence.

I specialize in designing fresh, forward-thinking womenswear that feels both true to a brand’s identity and relevant to today’s world. I pride myself on crafting colour and trend packages that blend inspiration from all aspects of life - art, vintage finds, street style, and whatever sparks my imagination while making sure it all stays true to what’s commercially viable.

I’ve got a sharp eye for the balance between creativity and strategy, understanding pricing and product end use without compromising on the aesthetic. I’m also detail oriented, with a solid grasp on garment construction, which enables me to communicate clearly and effectively with suppliers and ensure the end to end process is executed seamlessly.

Ultimately, I design with intention, bringing pieces to life that are not just beautiful, but meaningful - just like my grandmother taught me all those years ago.
