Hi, I’m Steph a freelance garment designer specialising in activewear athleisure and swimwear categories. I love to work with people who share in my passion of creating functional and purpose-driven product.

I hold 17+ years industry experience partnering with premium to high-street brands and retailers with additional experiences within multi-product categories; taking garments from conception to pre-production with a strong understanding of technical fabric, fit and construction.

My most recent role took me to Berlin where I was the designer and creative buyer for the sports category at Zalando S.E. Here I designed fashion-forward and functional activewear collection for the Private label’s, whilst buying and leading on the exclusive collections for brand partners supporting strategic planning and brand development.

In 2020, I moved back to the UK, pivoting into the world of freelance design, leveraging my unique skills and experiences to support start-up and established global brands meet their goals and bring their strategic vision’s to life.

So, if you need help launching your brand or support with designing your next collection, please get in touch. I would love to hear from you.
