About Me

I am currently part-time teaching photo/video at IPAC Design Geneva and have been teaching all of last year’s school year as a substitute professor of Visual Arts at the Collège de Pinchat (Carouge, GE). From the outset, my teaching was very much appreciated by both students and the teaching staff, so I was chosen by the College of Pinchat to teach an optional course preparing for the entrance exams to the CFP Arts.
Holder of a Master’s degree in Fashion Design from the Haute Ecole d’Art et de Design (HEAD) of Geneva and having launched my brand of ethical and sustainable clothing in 2018, I have all academic, technical and practical bases necessary to teach young pupils of primary and secondary school and adults. In addition, two years in a row, I have had the pleasure of giving private lessons to young students to prepare them to the HEAD-Geneva entrance exams.
It was a revelation to discover my taste for pedagogy, listening and the patience involved in transmitting knowledge. To feel that a student gains independence through my teaching is both a great satisfaction and a real privilege.

Fashion design, a tailored course, from beginning your journey to entering industry.
This is a dynamic class which can encompass many areas of the fashion design process, this can included practical skills such as learning Adobe suite, pattern cutting, portfolio making and other skills to wider advice for university or career. I received my BA from Central Saint Martins and went on to work at Tom Ford, Phoebe Philo and Maison Givenchy as well as time working freelance over this period I was lucky enough to learn some valuable traits or skills which really help getting that first start at a fashion job or that could prove incredibly helpful during your fashion education. I feel as good as fashion education can be sometimes they have blindspots and don't always completely prepare their students for the realties of industry and I have helped many students to receive interviews and opportunities at companies which they never believed possible for themselves as well a helped to demystify what a career in fashion actually is and how to best prepare for it.
