About
I spent ten years on the shop floor of a department store, watching people buy clothes they never wore. In 2019 I set up on my own in Brighton to do it differently: find the colours first, then buy less.
Sessions start with a clear price. Write to me with what you need, and I'll tell you what we can do, how long it takes and what to bring.
