About me

I graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2003 and became the head assistant to designer Warren Noronha before gaining further design industry experience in Italy.

In 2011, Catherine Teatum and I co-founded Teatum Jones, which became renowned for designs inspired by human stories and for helping to advance a more unified and inclusive fashion industry.

We were the first brand to commit to casting models with disabilities at London Fashion Week.

Since 2014, we’ve presented award-winning shows and collaborated with some of the world’s most iconic retailers, including Net-a-Porter, Harvey Nichols, and Liberty London.

In 2016, we made history as the first British designers to win the prestigious International Woolmark Prize at New York Fashion Week, joining an esteemed alumni that includes Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld.

In 2018, Emma Watson commissioned us to create her sustainable wardrobe for the G7 summit in Paris. Known for dressing powerful and outspoken individuals, our designs have been worn by notable figures such as Lady Gaga, Zendaya, Andrew Scott, Tracee Ellis Ross, Annie Lennox, Munroe Bergdorf, and Jennifer Hudson.

In 2022, we were inducted into the prestigious Artworkers Guild, recognised for our innovative and modern textile and fashion design expertise.

I have also held in-house designer positions at The Dorchester Hotel and the British Library, and our collaborations have included work with John Smedley, Next, and Liberty Prints.

In 2024, we designed over 150 “Unity”-themed costumes for the pageant celebrating HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Silver Jubilee, watched by over 10 million people.

In 2026, the Victoria and Albert Museum plans to acquire Teatum Jones’ work for its archives, joining some of the world’s most important designers.

I joined Westminster in 2021 and have worked on both 2D and 3D projects across all years.
