Fashion Designer with 20 years industry experience, specialising in Footwear Design & Development and Student Mentoring.

I met Claire through the music scene and she always stood out for her incredible sense of fashion and originality. She's also got the most outgoing personality which makes her approachable. She's a fun, sassy and energetic character, who not only has got the skills, talent and expertise, but embraces it as a way of life.

Claire is one of the most genuine, funny and talented people in my friends circle. We met through our love of music and found out that as well as both being creatives, we share the same birthday! Claire is an accomplished designer, having worked for internationally famous brands, but is down to earth and I am confident that all facets of her experience and personality will make her an excellent tutor.

Claire is the sister of one of my old school teachers and is an excellent and outgoing person who has inspired me. She has shown me that a small town girl can go on to achieve bigger and better things which is hard to believe coming from a rural area. I sincerely wish her all the best in her new career path and that she keeps on inspiring younger people like she has me. A wonderful person who anyone deserves to have as a tutor.

Claire has been not only a friend but a mentor to myself for several years. She is patient, calm, caring and so passionate about her field of work. Alongside this her knowledge of the industry is outstanding, meaning she can pass on skills & training to others with much ease and enthusiasm. Working with Claire in a professional and social setting is an honour!

Claire was a mentor to me in the truest sense of the word during our time at Grays School of Art. Her career path has taken her from strength to strength as a leader of design for some of the worlds most reputable brands. Highly recommended as a tutor of Fashion Design.

Claire has a wide range of design skills and stacks of industry experience. She is lots of fun to work with with plenty of contacts. She is a thoughtful and kind person and this translates into a supportive learning environment. Many have flourished under her leadership. I've known Claire for over 10 years in a professional and personal capacity.

I've known Claire since she first started her studies into Art & design, needless to say quite a number of years. Claire has always been a creative and diligent person, highly motivated and with a great sense of humour and humility. Claire is an awesome teacher with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Claire has many years experience in fashion and design having worked for major shoe manufacturers . She has a great personality and work ethic and I can imagine a student having fun and learning loads .

I’ve known Claire for about 10 years. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. She is very friendly and approachable and easy to talk to. She is passionate and knowledgable about her work. My daughter also loves her too!

Claire has an amazing accumulation of creative, technical and industrial knowledge. Having had a long and interesting career, holding influential positions in the fashion sector she is very well qualified in her area of expertise.

Claire was really supportive of me and took on the role of coach in this particular scenario, helping me to take my work to the next level.

She’s able to support students, consult within an existing project (like mine) or just provide those much needed ‘fresh eyes’ that you sometimes need!

Thanks Claire. I really hope we’ll work together again soon!

Claire is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced Designer.
She has fantastic forward looking trend awareness but is also very commercial and has designed products to fit within specific consumer profiles and costs.
Claire is excellent at mentoring students and less experienced Designers and has the skills and expertise in knowing how to get the best out of people and pushing them forward to achieve their full potential.
Claire is also excellent at supporting colleagues who need advice or second opinions or just a person to talk to in confidence.
I believe these skills will ensure that Claire will be an outstanding trustworthy tutor and students will thrive under her tuition.

I've known Claire for quite a few years now, having a mutual love of music and design. She knows her stuff does Claire and always looks amazing! I completely trust her opinion.
Try her, you won't be disappointed.

I had the privelege of going to college with Claire. What she doesn’t know about fashion design isn’t worth knowing. I would highly recommend her she is hugely talented, patient and is very approachable. I only wish she lived closer to teach my daughter.

Claire is sharp, and instantly likable, with a head full of knowledge that she loves to add to. However, because she loves people, she loves to share but she does not thump that knowledge into you. You'll laugh yet, at the same time, be absorbing so much more than you would using other sources.

Claire is an amazing tutor no problem is to big or to small she's very friendly and approachable. Can not recommend her enough.

I have known and have been inspired by Claire for many years. She embodies creativity and her style and method is completely unique. The opportunity to learn from Claire is one that shouldn't be missed, she is a true master of her trade and an icon in the fashion industry

Claire is passionate about design and will help to nurture any hidden talent and bring out the best in you. Honest helpful advice aimed at making you progress and learn .

Claire is thoroughly qualified for this tutoring position and is someone who has an uncanny ability to make anyone else understand any subject.

Claire helped me so much in college, she really gave me the focus and drive I needed to get my head back in the zone. She is very trustworthy and professional and I can not thank her enough

I have known Claire for a number of years. She is a very talented and passionate artist who has been an inspiration and mentor to my daughter who is now going on to do Illustration at university. Claire is an understanding person and will encourage you to reach your potential.

Fantastic tutor! Really showed me how to be the best I can be in my skill. I would highly recommend Claire. She really was a great tutor.

Claire Helped me gain confidence in my designs as I had low self esteem and almost quit work because of it. Claire’s “bubbly” (very funny and quirky) personality helped me a lot and made me have faith in what I do through a “get up and do it” approach. Would highly recommend to anyone! ️

I have known Claire for most of her life she is very hard working,honest,and very sincere also inspirational
she would be an excellent tutor and would be an assest to
any future employer.

Claire is clever, kind, a brilliant designer, and top artist. She's so good she's even been spoofed in The Beano. Have no fear, Claire's the one you want!
