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.

  • 1) When did you start practicing? How did this passion find you?

    I discovered my passion with designing as young as 6 years old, when I would design looks for my Barbie and Bratz dolls. I would turn them into muses for storylines in games I would play with my friends. I never wanted to do anything else.
  • 2) Which artists or works affect you the most?

    The greats do inspire me; Alexander McQueen, Thierry Mugler, John Galliano for Christian Dior, Vivienne Westwood, Ann Demeulemeester, Oliver Theyskins etc.

    I am also driven greatly by personal life experiences, whether good or bad, I find it so beautiful to create art from within the depth of your character. This is where originality stems from.
  • 3) What are the qualities and skill required to succeed in this area?

    With a positive mindset, hard work and determination to NEVER give up. I do believe that the impossible will be possible. That is the secret to succeed.
  • 4) What is the most valuable advice you can give to help someone stay focused on creative projects?

    Do little but often, and it certainly does add up. Even if you do 1hr a day... in 60 days you will have a massive folder of work. Also, don't be afraid to produce work you don't like... even mistakes can become the beginning of your best idea to date...
  • 5) How would you describe your passion; how does it make you feel?

    Knowing I have all this talent, and the thought of not using my ideas to create beautiful work for my own brand, because of life's distractions is one of my biggest fears. This pushes me to always strive for more.
  • 6) What creative achievements are you particularly proud of?

    I am proud I have styled the one and only; 'Dita Von Tesse.'
  • 7) Have you ever been surprised by a student; by their ability or quick progression?

    I have seen with my own eyes that hard work certainly does pay off. Anyone can learn how to be a fashion designer, as long as you have a good creative eye. Pattern cutting and Tailoring skills will soon follow with the right guidance.
  • 8) Being a Superprof is an art! What is your secret?

    Being incredibly positive! :)
