About me
With over 18 years of experience in Fashion, my work is backed by broad industry knowledge and enthusiasm for innovative design. My customers range from large scale international retailers and brands, to start ups at the beginning of their business journey.
As a Designer I have experience across a variety of product areas, with specialisms in technical sportswear, outerwear, denim and casuals. I love pattern and designing repeat prints and am inspired by vintage textiles and wallpapers. Please take a look at my portfolio on the Design section of this website to see a brief snapshot of previous work.
I approach forward trend research as a core bedrock of my business. Conducting constant research means I have a confident knowledge base ready to go when approaching new design commissions.
Testimonials
“We have used Laura many times on a Freelance basis. Laura has always delivered amazing results in her design work, the key elements to this are her communication, eye for detail and understanding the brief we send to her. I would recommend Laura without a 2nd thought if you require a designer.”
— Paul Codd, Sales Director.

“As a small business, having a creative, reliable freelancer like Laura on hand is a godsend. Laura is my extra hand, the one I call upon when we’re stretched beyond our usual capacity, she’s our super sub, someone I can trust to come to our rescue when the going gets tough!
She’ll grasp a brief quickly, often by email alone, and produce a raft of fully thought out, creative, and functional designs (not always that common in designers) for us to choose from. She adapts her way of working to suit that of our business, and has a terrific eye for detail; adding a natty vintage twist or function that set her designs apart from others.
Genuinely, a pleasure to work with”
— Lucy Gledhill, Brand Director.
