About Lynda
I am a double graduate from Parsons School of Design in NYC, with degrees in Fashion (academic honours) and Photography. I have an extensive background in ready to wear and bespoke fashion businesses and the collection I co-founded has participated at New York Fashion Week, London Fashion Week, London Collections: Mens, and sales week in Paris. Pieces from our collection are part of the permanent collection at the (concealed information) where they were exhibited alongside work by Alexander McQueen, Vivienne Westwood, and Jean Paul Gaultier. Our brand has also been featured in a wide range of international fashion press and several books on art and design. Over my 25 years in industry, I have developed a broad foundation of specialist skills for the directional and avant garde design aesthetic of our brand. My recent work has shifted focus to fashion innovation including biomaterials and their application in fashion.
I have also built-up significant skills in fashion education through my 12 years of experience in the field. A Senior Fellow of Advance HE, I have designed and delivered classes in fashion design, graduate collection, menswear, womenswear, corsetry, sewing, pattern cutting, costume design, bustles and cages, fashion history and small run production. I have written four complete HE pathways including two Fashion Design BA (Hons) degrees and one Fashion Design BA (Hons) Top-Up, contributing to a TEF Gold rating for my employer. I have extensive experience supporting a wide range of students in achieving their goals both online and in person, from initial applications for further study through to small collection development and realisation.

Sessions will be individualised, with opportunities to submit work in progress and questions in advance to allow me to source the most relevant resources for your project and ensure you to get the most out of each session, followed by clear guidance on next steps.

Great value for money, highly recommend.
Lynda has an incredible eye for talent and potential and she will find yours and help you develop it while giving you the confidence and skills to be able to carry on on your own after your sessions are done.
She builds confidence and capability in you, inspiring you to do your best, assisting you through rough patches, while allowing your work, personality and talent to shine through as you build your independence.
I have had the pleasure of working with Lynda in higher education in fashion for years. It's great to see her on Superprof as this means more students will have the opportunity to learn from her than just the ones who are on accredited courses.
I have seen her teach courses from Access to BA third year and the results students are able to achieve across the board under her tutelage are truly impressive.
The more complex a design is the happier she is. If you feel something cannot be achieved she is your go-to person to find not just one but a multitude of ways to make your vision become reality.
I have seen her students leapfrog from Access to MA and go on and find fulfilment in their choice of career, no matter what background they come from.
I met Lynda at Carnival in Venice back in 2001. How could I not be drawn to the most amazing costume in the room? Over the years we've bounced ideas back and forth - the most recent was her teaching me how to navigate the GB student visa application. She was so patient with my lack of knowledge, but in no time I had applied and am now studying in the UK. On one of my holiday trips to the UK, we attended an event where we had to don personas and dress accordingly in order to participate. It is, to this day, one of my favorite (among many) memories from our friendship. I highly recommend Lynda as a tutor. Even without my exaltation, you will find that she infuses her own personal style and grace into every facet of her life, including her teaching facilitation. You won't be disappointed.
