About Ella

Hello, my name is Ella and I am Fashion Designer and Educator.

I am passionate about sharing my skills and knowledge, I thoroughly enjoy seeing my students grow and develop in both their technical and creative skills along side seeing their confidence soar with each milestone they achieve. Through nurturing each students individual flair and interests I am able to aid their own exploration of fashion whether that be as a domestic home sewer, someone looking to make the initial steps fashion industry whether that be through work or education or supporting them in their current position in fashion.

I graduated from Central Saint Martins (UAL) where I gained a Distinction for the BA Fashion Print course and a Distinction on the Art and Design Foundation course where I specialised in Fashion. Prior to this I studied Fashion and Textiles BTEC Level 3 National Diploma at Leeds College of Art gaining a Triple Distinction *, in each area of my 7 years within specialist Fashion and Textiles education I have achieved the top grade. Through the various different tutors I have had across these years, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing a multitude of different approaches to teaching within creative education.

I currently work as a Fashion Tutor and a Studio Manager at a specialist fashion school in London whereby I create and deliver a wide variety of classes and workshops to 12-17 year olds and adult groups and as private one to one tuition. With my students, we cover a huge array of topics including; research, design, textiles, pattern cutting, sewing and construction and illustration. I am well versed with teaching students of all abilities and with varying specialist needs. In addition to this I have tutored at Central Saint Martins on the short courses delivering specialised fashion illustration workshops and portfolio preparation short courses directed at helping students applying to both Further Education (foundation and college) and Higher Education (university) courses in Fashion.

I have experience working for a number of fashion brands including Alexander McQueen in Paris, Walter Van Beirendonck in Antwerp, Bernhard Willhelm in Los Angeles and Fred Perry and Petit Pli in London in multiple roles including; Fashion Designer, Print Designer, Research, Marketing and Pattern Cutter.

I have an enhanced DBS check and I am formally trained as an Arts Award advisor.
