About Catherine
I’m patient, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping you grow in confidence and creativity. Alongside my studies, I’ve gained industry experience working on the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Ready-to-Wear collection, as well as the Vivienne Westwood Bridal Couture collection — giving me insight into both academic expectations and the professional fashion world.
I’d love to support you on your journey and help you feel confident about achieving your dreams. I know how intense and competitive the portfolio and interview process can feel.
I aim to make the process clearer, less overwhelming, and even exciting. While aligning your concepts with what top fashion schools are really looking for.

I’m a Central Saint Martins Womenswear Design Graduate (2023) offering friendly, 1:1 online personalised portfolio mentoring for students applying to BA/MA Fashion Design and related courses at Central Saint Martins, London College of Fashion, and other top universities.
I also offer my services for Level 3 and 4 UAL Fashion Design Diplomas. If you need extra tuition while you are studying fashion at College it would be my great pleasure to help you with the design/development of your concepts.
I will offer help with the following:
• Concept development and research refinement
• Fashion illustration and visual communication
• Portfolio layout and presentation guidance
• Draping, pattern cutting and 3D garment construction
• Fabric manipulation and material exploration
• Organisation and project planning support
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Illustrator)
• Collection curation, final line up- technical drawing and flats.
I can also support you with internship applications, industry portfolios, CVs, and personal statements, helping you present yourself professionally and stand out amongst the other candidates.

I met Catherine while studying at Central Saint Martins and assisted her on her graduate collection.
Catherine's design work is truly spectacular, dramatic and boundary pushing while being beautifully constructed. I'd particularly recommend her to those with an interest in corsetry as she is a master!
Catherine definitely has a very clear level of understanding of the high calibre of both 3D and portfolio work required to secure a place at CSM, so would be a perfect choice of tutor for anyone looking to prepare for entry to fashion universities.
She has also worked within the Vivienne Westwood design studio, therefore also has strong knowledge of the fashion industry at the highest level and could help with securing internships for students already studying.Catherine is a fabulous tutor. So knowledgeable. Very approachable, made me feel like no question is too silly to ask! Catherine helped me so much with my application and improved my confidence so much. Such a sweet and gentle tutor. Highly recommend!
Catherine is an exceptional creative mentor and tutor. She has a rare ability to see people’s potential clearly and help them shape it into something confident, focused, and authentic. Her background speaks for itself — graduating from Central Saint Martins and gaining experience with Vivienne Westwood — but what really sets her apart is how generous, patient, and insightful she is with her students.
