About Spencer
I’m a fashion designer and First-Class Honours Fashion Design graduate from Central Saint Martins, currently working professionally in the international fashion industry.
My experience spans London, New York and Los Angeles, including work with Alexander Wang, AREA, Dunhill, and HBO. My work has been worn by artists including Björk, and featured in British Vogue, V Magazine, Glamour, Highsnobiety, Complex and MTV.
Having experienced both Central Saint Martins and the fashion industry firsthand, I know what makes a portfolio stand out. I help students develop a strong creative identity, build compelling portfolios and confidently prepare for interviews at leading fashion schools.

PORTFOLIO MENTORING
I offer portfolio mentoring for students applying at both Foundation and Degree level, whether you’re starting from scratch or refining an existing portfolio.
I’ll work with you one-to-one to make your application as strong, original and individual as possible.
We can cover:
Concept and research development
Sketchbooks and experimentation
Fashion design and illustration
Design and collection development
Styling and creative direction
Photography and presentation
Portfolio layout and editing
Identifying gaps and developing new projects
I don’t believe in creating generic “fashion school” portfolios. The goal is to discover what makes your work different and push that as far as possible.
INTERVIEW & APPLICATION PREP
I offer mock interviews and application preparation for Foundation and Degree applicants, particularly those targeting highly competitive schools such as CSM and IMF.
We’ll practise discussing your portfolio, influences, research, creative decisions and ambitions so you can communicate your ideas confidently and naturally.
I’ll also share the practical tips, advice and techniques I learnt firsthand through getting into my dream fashion school and securing design roles within the international fashion industry.
COMPLETELY INDIVIDUAL
Every session is built around you, your work, your level and the schools you want to attend.
I have mentored students through successful applications and can continue supporting you with projects and creative development once you begin studying.
The aim isn’t to make your work look like everyone else’s. It’s to make it impossible to confuse with anyone else’s.

Spencer completely transformed my A-Level portfolio and helped me get accepted onto the Art & Design Foundation course I wanted (which I found out I got into a week ago!!). He helped me create a layout that felt completely individual to my work, pushed my ideas so much further, and gave me amazing interview tips on how to confidently explain my work and creative process. Couldn’t recommend him enough!
Spencer really helped me get my portfolio to the level I needed for London College of Fashion. What made his advice so useful was that he understood exactly where I was in the process and never tried to force my work into a certain style. I’ve since recommended him to friends applying at Foundation level too, as he really understands both Foundation and degree applications.
Spencer completely changed the way I approached my portfolio. He helped me take ideas I wasn’t fully confident in and develop them into work that felt much stronger, more original and genuinely like me.
Throughout my application to Kingston School of Art, he pushed me creatively while always making sure my own identity came through in the work. His understanding of what fashion schools actually look for was invaluable, and I went into my application feeling far more confident and prepared. I genuinely don’t think my portfolio would have reached the same level without his mentorship. Thank You!!Spencer helped me so much with my portfolio and genuinely changed the way I looked at my own work. He has an amazing eye for seeing what’s interesting in an idea and knowing how to push it further, rather than trying to make your work look like everyone else’s.
What I loved most was how personal his advice was. He really took the time to understand me and what I wanted my portfolio to say. Could not recommend him enough!!!!!!!View more recommendations
