I'm really excited for everyone to come and see my work at the Degree Show. We get to have our designs showcased on a runway in front of industry professionals as well as our friends and family, which is a great opportunity. 

I really hope that when people see my designs, they look closely and see all the little details I’ve put into each outfit. My collection is very sleek and structured, but it’s also got fun points like the ladybug embroidery and the four-leaf clover cut-out that I want people to notice. 

I've gained a lot of confidence throughout this year while working on my project. I’ve felt free to do whatever I want and I now understand how to make my work better and challenge myself. In the future I’d love to do a graduate placement – I've realised that there are so many different parts of fashion that I'd be happy to do, and I think my course has really helped me get to where I need to be to have a successful career.
