About me
She is a lecturer in Digital Fashion Skills, where she focuses on developing students’ digital capabilities and fostering an understanding of the history, heritage, and cultural foundations of fashion. With a BA in Fashion Design and an MA in Theatre Design, she began her career as a costume designer for stage productions in both London and Brazil. Her professional background spans digital textile illustration, digital garment design, and traditional costume design. Over the years, she has specialised in digital fashion visualisation and the integration of emerging technologies, exploring how innovative software and sustainable methods can support contemporary and future-facing fashion practice.
Teaching
She lectures across BA Fashion programmes, delivering sessions on digital craftsmanship, Adobe literacy, textile rendering and construction (Clo3D), and the history and heritage of fashion and subcultures. Her approach emphasises experimentation, cultural awareness, and responsible innovation. By integrating 2D and 3D technologies she aims to support students as they develop their own visual languages and explore how digital practice can shape the future of fashion production, communication, and design.
Research
Her current research revolves around Latin American indigenous techniques and the digitalisation of cultural heritage. Her main interest is using technology to preserve fashion and textile heritage prior to colonial influences across native communities. She explores ways that emerging digital tools can safeguard traditional practices at risk of being appropriated by colonial histories. She is an advocate for ethical and collaborative research methodologies and believes in the potential of technology as a tool for decolonisation and cultural referencing.
