Hi, I’m Samantha, a Menswear Multi-Product Designer with a passion for Technical Outerwear.

​

After graduating from Manchester School of Art, I discovered my love for outerwear early in my career during my first job. This passion has only grown since, shaping my design journey and allowing me to work with a variety of brands and projects over the past eight years.

​

While my specialism lies in men’s technical outerwear, I also have experience across womenswear, mens wovens, and kidswear—making me adaptable to a wide range of design needs.

​

In pursuit of expanding my brand experience, I transitioned to freelance work, which has given me the opportunity to collaborate with numerous brands and hone my expertise. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in every stage of the design process—from initial concept development and tech packs to garment specifications, fittings, and size specs for samples and production. I also manage supplier relationships and oversee the full production cycle, ensuring each product lands on time and to specification.

​

I’m skilled at blending creativity with commercial sensibility, and I bring this balance to life through both digital and hand-rendered illustrations. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite—particularly Illustrator and Photoshop—I create detailed design packages, including CADs, Technical Design Packs, trend research, and creative direction—all tailored to each project’s unique needs.

​

With a true hands-on approach, my freelance experience has further sharpened my skills. I’ve had the opportunity to travel to both the Near and Far East, visiting factories to ensure quality control, testing, and smooth production. And i've been lucky enough to have some oversea's clients. I pride myself on maintaining strong communication with clients, keeping each project on track and aligned with expectations.

​

I’ve also contributed to high-profile campaigns and commercials through styling, demonstrating my passion for the entire fashion process. I’m here to bring your ideas to life with designs that blend innovation, practicality, refined aesthetics, and enduring value.

​

Feel free to reach out to discuss how we can work together.
