Foundation Diploma In Art And Design
Graduating from BA(Hons) Fashion Atelier from UCA Rochester, with a particular interest in pattern cutting and construction, now seeking employment opportunities in London. The main focus of my studies has been pattern cutting and construction techniques. The atelier techniques I have acquired relate mostly to tailoring, fabric manipulation, bias cutting and inner corsetry. I am most accustomed to draped pattern cutting, with adjustments done using measurements on a flat draft. Experience in industry has allowed me to develop skills in flat pattern cutting with the use of blocks and Gerber. My training also extends to working within a design brief, creating technical drawings, knowledge of fabrics and finishings, the use of domestic and industrial machines in addition to hand sewn finishes, embroidery and beading. I am literate in the use of Gerber Accumark and digitising, Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office and am also proficient in French.
