I began my journey in fashion with a love for creating garments that feel personal, considered and beautifully made.
After studying at University of the Arts London and completing my Master’s at Kingston University, I launched my fashion business in 2019. Since then, my bespoke couture work has been worn at international award shows including the BET Awards, BRIT Awards, The Walpole Luxury British Awards, MOBO Awards and more.
Today, my work sits largely within bridalwear, where I design pieces for women during some of the most meaningful moments of their lives. Bridal design has deepened my appreciation for craftsmanship — the quiet details, the construction, the fit, the fabric, and the patience involved in making something truly special.
I started Ardelle Academy in 2024 as a way to share the knowledge I’ve built over the years. I know sewing can feel overwhelming at first, especially when you are faced with machines, patterns, fabric choices and unfamiliar techniques. My passion is helping students move through that uncertainty with calm, supportive guidance.
I love teaching because I get to watch people surprise themselves. There is something beautiful about seeing a student go from “I don’t think I can do this” to creating something with their own hands.
My classes are gentle, practical and encouraging, with a focus on helping you build real confidence from the very beginning of your sewing journey.
