My Story

I always dreamed of being a designer, even as a child I gravitated towards creating with my hands be it through art or sitting with my mum learning to cross stitch. However my life took me in another direction that for a while that’s all I ever thought it would be .. a dream.

I remember stepping out onto the stage at Radio City Music Hall and thinking it would never get any better than this. I was at the pinnacle of my career as a dancer having toured the World with Riverdance as a Lead dancer for ten years, traveling to almost every continent on the planet. What would I do after this was all over? For a professional dancer or athlete the end is inevitable at that level. I began to teach dance, but my soul didn’t sing as loudly as I would like, and I knew that if I didn’t go after my dream that’s all it would ever be.

I went back to college, and graduated three years later from the Grafton Academy of Fashion and Textile Design Dublin and subsequently started my own label. Specializing in Runway, Red Carpet, and Bespoke occasion wear.

My designs have been worn to the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, Style awards, and IFTAS.

l design pieces to be loved and lived in but always with a hint of fantasy. I love to see my pieces on the red carpet in the height of glamour but equally love that I can wear that same dress with a pair of flats and my hair in a topknot.

I have been nominated for several notable awards including Fashion Designer of the Year at the Irish Fashion Innovation awards and I am also a member of the CIFD Council of Irish Fashion Designers.

I don’t design clothes, I design dreams
