A bit about me!
I’m originally from Ireland and have spent over thirty years in the fashion industry. I began my career as a designer with a small manufacturing company in West Cork, where I gained hands‑on experience across the full design and production process—from sourcing prints and materials to pattern drafting, grading, and working closely with sample machinists and the production team.
In 2000, I moved to the UK and have since worked in a wide range of roles with brands including Shirin Guild, Speedo, Criminal, Gap, Seraphine, and Hush. My experience spans multiproduct garment technology, textile sourcing and promotion and product development.
For the past eight years, I’ve worked as a freelance product development consultant, drawing on my broad background to support small and start‑up brands. I particularly enjoy collaborative projects that help bring a client’s vision to life.
I’m down‑to‑earth, approachable, and genuinely enjoy meeting people, sharing ideas, and learning from others. I believe strongly in producing well‑considered, responsibly made products that minimise harm to both people and the planet.
I look forward to hearing from you to investigate how I can be of service to you.
Warm regards,
Nessa
