About Billy
Hi, I’m Billy, a Fashion Design Lecturer and Personal Tutor - I'm passionate about helping talented designers and students achieve their full potential. Originally trained at London College of Fashion and Nottingham Trent University. My approach is informed by 6 years teaching at De Montfort and Nottingham Trent Universities. As well as 11 years of personal experience as a Fashion Designer and Design Manager, during which I trained teams of interns and designers in the end-to-end design process across womenswear, menswear and accessories. Exhibiting collections at London and Paris Fashion Week and achieving 86% sell-through in Selfridges, as a 'Bright Youngs Things' winner, taught me how to combine creativity and commercial viability - something I instil in all my students. I enable aspiring fashion designers and students to eloquently articulate and express their vision, often resulting in successful applications to universities, selection for Graduate Fashion Week, improved grades and ultimately securing their dream jobs. Are you ready to advance your design process, signature style and professional appeal? if so, I can help.

Your lessons start with a free 30 minute conversation where you can tell me exactly what you'd like to achieve as a Fashion Designer or Fashion Student. Understanding your current position, ambitions and unique design handwriting is invaluable in allowing me to set-out lesson plans for our 60-minute tutorials. This can include handy guidelines, checklists and timetabled roadmaps to support your growth as a designer. During each session we follow an agenda to prioritise key areas of improvement. For example, focusing on the content, composition and flow of your portfolio to increase its appeal to universities and employers. After each session I'll provide a summary and checklist of actions for you to follow. These informal and efficient one-to-one lessons result in visible improvements to your design process and 3D creations. Areas I can help with: - Concept development : Sketch book based research and development of your design DNA - Design Sketching: Ideation of silhouettes and details - 3D Draping : Applying fabric to the stand & transferring to flat pattern - CAD Design : Adobe suite technical drawing guidance - Materials and Colour Palette : Selection and balance of colour, fabric and trim - Range Planning : Balancing silhouettes and overall market proposition - Commercial : Creating pricing formulas, costings and profit margins - Timelines : Creating design process focused critical paths - Portfolio : Balancing content, flow and composition to enhance appeal of projects - Personal Statement : Input and drafting of professional bio - University & Job Interviews : Guidance with CV, covering letter and portfolio editing - Job application projects : Support answering briefs set by potential employers Whether you're applying for university, studying as an undergraduate or applying for roles in industry; I'm passionate about helping talented designers and students like you achieve their full potential. I would love the opportunity to help you achieve your ambitions as a Fashion Designer of the future!

I came to Billy for help in pushing my portfolio creatively as a student to one where I could confidently present to professionals within the industry. My experience with Billy has taken me to working with high-end clothing brands to Contemporary Print based brands such as Olivia Rubin and Saloni as a Senior Designer. In my experience Billy helped push creative thinking from design to product development, supporting creative ideas with technical samples and relating this all back to industry. I would highly recommend Billy to anyone who would like to excel and further their career in fashion design.
I have known Billy for a great number of years and yet am still inspired by Billy’s organisation, competency and thoughtfulness. Billy is always thinking about people’s goals and needs, always pays an genuine interest and is usually planning more than one step ahead. I would wholeheartedly trust and recommend Billy.
Billy’s skills make her the perfect tutor as she has innate creativity and attention to detail, slick organisation skills and project management and possibly the most important asset - a huge amount of patience.
Billy knows how to focus and get the most out of multiple projects whilst having an eye on budgets and objectives - bringing a commercial element to her vast knowledge.
I’d highly recommend Billy to provide any student with non patronising support to help them develop in their creative field.Billy has been instrumental in my career, helping me to see my full potential. I totally trust her advice and teaching. Its helped me rise from student to Head of Design for brands such as Roksanda, Hunter Boots & Speedo International. I'd recommend her to anyone with ambitions to go far in Fashion Design.
