I loved your work since the first time I saw it here on Tumblr, you became an inspiration for me. Do you have any tip for someone who dreams about becoming a fashion designer?
Thank you!! I don’t really have any tips but i would say to just be 150% focused on your craft, improving and becoming something greater than yourself.

I am absolutely in love with your work. Will you ever have prints of your illustrations for sale?

How did you start doing what you do? What did you study at school etc? Your work is amazing and I want to work as a designer as well but don't know how to go about it x
I started from a very young age. I’ve been drawing since the age of 3 and i haven’t stopped since! The progression into fashion/ designing was very natural. My drawing skills are self taught, but i studied fashion design at College and Uni. The reason was so that i had the basic understanding of fabrics and constructing etc. I would say to look into some colleges and go from there.

Wow! Your illustrations are incredible.. Do you go to design school or anything like that?
Thank you very much! I am self taught in regards to my illustration skills, but i did attend College and University to study fashion design.

I can't even begin to comprehend how amazing your work is! Where do you find inspiration?
Thanks soo much! I get inspired by classic things. Vintage fashion images are very inspiring to me. 50’s and 60’s Vogue style!

I LOVE the Disney Villains collection, especially Cruella De Vil, (I get especially excited because I'm going to Disneyland Paris in a couple of weeks, I'm still a kid at heart haha). Don't ever stop drawing, you're amazing!
Thank you! Oh nice, have fun at Disneyland Paris. I love Disney but i have yet to visit Disney land haha. I’ll do it one day…

You're illustrations are to die for I have been waiting patiently everyday for the whole Disney collection and now I am drooling over the villains. Amazing stuff. Do you have anything planned with Halloween coming up? I only ask because the Disney collections have been inspiring me and my favorite part about Halloween is combining fashion with fantasy. I always make my costumes!
Thank you! The Disney Diva’s collection can be classed as inspiration for Halloween, although i do have some more Halloween inspired designs up next….
