Currently studying my final year of Fashion Design at Whitehouse in Sydney. Throughout the duration of my course I have been given the opportunity to meet and work with an incredible variety of individuals including my peers and academic staff, including the incomparable Akira Isogawa. Whitehouse is the product of pure dedication and ingenuity giving students creative control and authority unlike any other institute in Australia. Leanne Whitehouse has been incredibly supportive and encouraging to me from the moment I meet her. Leanne has given me the confidence to believe in my designs and despite her incredibly hectic schedule always has time for me. Likewise, I have to give great praise to the wonderful work of our first and second year pattern making and fashion construction teachers. Both of whom are extremely devoted to their students going above and beyond the required to ensure we build an extensive range of skills and are comfortable in doing so. Finally, I have to mention our wonderful librarian Di for her caring and supportive nature to all.
