Foundation Diploma In Art And Design
Gerber Creative Pattern Cutter Graduate from BA (Hons) Fashion Atelier, Gerber CAD Pattern Cutting course and LCF Fashion Foundation. BA (Hons) Fashion Atelier focused mainly on bespoke and on the stand pattern cutting for tailored, bias cut, fabric manipulated and corseted garments. The practices of the luxury sector were explored through Haute Couture construction techniques and hand sewn finishings. My current role has advanced these skills, transferring my knowledge of draped pattern into using flat blocks and measurements both manually and using Gerber Accumark. Experience in industry has also led to greater insight into garment making for production, including commercial constructions and finishings, creating size specification sheets, economic lay plans and fabric costings as well as knowledge of how grading rules are designed. Other skills include Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, basic PHP, HTML and C programming as well as French.
