TEXTILES FASHION INTERIORS
I’m an anti-disciplinary designer and lecturer with extensive industry experience across fashion, textiles, homeware and interiors. I love seeing an idea take shape, from the first print or fabric sample to a collection ready for launch. My experience spans design, product development and supply chain management, including international sourcing, sampling, budgets, critical paths and bulk production.
I’ve developed womenswear textiles at JRC London and worked with buying teams on prints and wovens for brands including Urban Outfitters and Marks & Spencer. Selling my freelance print designs to Liberty remains a career highlight. As Design Manager at Sekers & Wemyss Fabrics, I sourced and developed premium interiors fabrics, and at Premier Housewares I worked directly with mills to take textile and homeware collections from concept to production.
My work with Fairlie Curved brings together branding, boutique styling, visual merchandising, and social media and email marketing. Founding LISA G and Imperfect Stitch, alongside planning trade shows, fashion shows and exhibitions, has given me hands-on experience in creative enterprise and event planning.
I love sharing what I’ve learned and championing careers across the creative industries. In my teaching, I use real examples to show how designers, buyers and suppliers work together and how decisions about materials, cost and timing shape what reaches the customer. One of my favourite parts of teaching is helping students discover roles they hadn’t considered and build the confidence to pursue them.
