About Jessica

I’m Jessica, a Fashion Design BA graduate from the University for the Creative Arts (London) and Politecnico di Milano.

I have over three years of experience working across brands and suppliers in the UK and Europe. I’ve worked within design teams alongside buyers and account managers, contributing to product development from concept to production. My experience includes collaborating with factories in Sri Lanka, Italy, Bangladesh, and Madagascar, which has given me a strong understanding of garment construction, technical requirements, and commercial expectations.

Alongside fashion, I have over four years of experience teaching English to both children and adults, online and in person. I earned my TEFL certification in 2020. Teaching has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to break down complex ideas into clear, practical steps.

My background combines creative design training, real industry experience, and structured teaching skills, which means my lessons are focused, practical, and tailored to your goals.

About the lesson

First Lesson Structure
- In our first session, we define your goals clearly.
- We map out a direction.
- We create a step-by-step plan so you know exactly what you’re working towards.

1. Preparing for College or University (Portfolio Support)
If you’re applying to a fashion course, your portfolio needs structure, development, and clarity. I help you build a cohesive body of work from start to finish.

We will cover:
- Responding to a brief
- Research and finding strong visual references
- Mood board development
- Concept building and design development
- Fabric selection and understanding silhouette
- CAD drawings and technical flats
- Pattern cutting and garment construction
- Styling and planning your final photoshoot

The goal: a professional, well-edited portfolio that shows process, creativity, and technical ability.

2. Preparing for the Fashion Industry (Career Support)
Trying to break into fashion? Your presentation matters.

I can help you with:
- Portfolio refinement (for design roles)
- CV structure and positioning
- Writing strong motivational letters
- Interview preparation
- Understanding what brands are actually looking for (brand identity)

This is practical, honest guidance based on real industry expectations.

3. Learning Fashion as a Hobby
If you want to learn for personal growth, we can focus on:

- Sewing fundamentals
- Pattern cutting basics
- Garment construction
- Design development
- Creative confidence

Lessons are structured but flexible depending on your pace.
