About Catherine
I’m patient, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping you grow in confidence and creativity. Alongside my studies, I’ve gained industry experience working on the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Ready-to-Wear collection, as well as the Vivienne Westwood Bridal Couture collection — giving me insight into both academic expectations and the professional fashion world.
I’d love to support you on your journey and help you feel confident about achieving your dreams. I know how intense and competitive the portfolio and interview process can feel.
I aim to make the process clearer, less overwhelming, and even exciting. While aligning your concepts with what top fashion schools are really looking for.

I’m a Central Saint Martins Womenswear Design Graduate (2023) offering friendly, 1:1 online personalised portfolio mentoring for students applying to BA/MA Fashion Design and related courses at Central Saint Martins, London College of Fashion, and other top universities.
I also offer my services for Level 3 and 4 UAL Fashion Design Diplomas. If you need extra tuition while you are studying fashion at College it would be my great pleasure to help you with the design/development of your concepts.
I will offer help with the following:
• Concept development and research refinement
• Fashion illustration and visual communication
• Portfolio layout and presentation guidance
• Draping, pattern cutting and 3D garment construction
• Fabric manipulation and material exploration
• Organisation and project planning support
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Illustrator)
• Collection curation, final line up- technical drawing and flats.
I can also support you with internship applications, industry portfolios, CVs, and personal statements, helping you present yourself professionally and stand out amongst the other candidates.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the teacher's students.
Perfect! Catherine absolutely transformed my daughter’s academic year. She took time to learn what Lily wanted to achieve and really helped push her on to deliver on her project. Massive thank you. Can’t speak highly enough
- Lily was an absolute pleasure to teach. She is an extremely hardworking, dedicated, and highly intelligent student who consistently approached her work with enthusiasm and professionalism. She responded exceptionally well to feedback and advice throughout her project, always taking on suggestions thoughtfully and using them to further develop her ideas and skills.See the response Catherine :
Lily was organised, punctual, and demonstrated a strong level of independence and maturity in her approach to her studies. She produced beautiful, thoughtful work of an exceptionally high standard and should be very proud of everything she has achieved.
Perfect! Catherine helped me prepare for my interview during our lesson, and it was very helpful. She gave clear, thoughtful advice. She’s lovely! I would recommend her as a tutor.
- I really enjoyed helping Sainam prepare for her BA Womenswear interview at Central Saint Martins.See the response Catherine :
Her project, which explored Thai culture and heritage through fashion, was unique, thoughtful, and full of potential. It was a pleasure to see her talk about her project and help build her confidence in discussing her work, ready for the interview.
I wish Sainam every success in her creative journey.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
I met Catherine while studying at Central Saint Martins and assisted her on her graduate collection.
Catherine's design work is truly spectacular, dramatic and boundary pushing while being beautifully constructed. I'd particularly recommend her to those with an interest in corsetry as she is a master!
Catherine definitely has a very clear level of understanding of the high calibre of both 3D and portfolio work required to secure a place at CSM, so would be a perfect choice of tutor for anyone looking to prepare for entry to fashion universities.
She has also worked within the Vivienne Westwood design studio, therefore also has strong knowledge of the fashion industry at the highest level and could help with securing internships for students already studying.Catherine is a fabulous tutor. So knowledgeable. Very approachable, made me feel like no question is too silly to ask! Catherine helped me so much with my application and improved my confidence so much. Such a sweet and gentle tutor. Highly recommend!
Catherine is an exceptional creative mentor and tutor. She has a rare ability to see people’s potential clearly and help them shape it into something confident, focused, and authentic. Her background speaks for itself — graduating from Central Saint Martins and gaining experience with Vivienne Westwood — but what really sets her apart is how generous, patient, and insightful she is with her students.
She doesn’t just help you “improve” your work; she helps you understand why it works and how to develop your own creative voice. Whether you’re building a portfolio, preparing for interviews, or applying to top creative courses, Catherine offers thoughtful, practical guidance tailored to you as an individual.
She’s incredibly supportive, honest in the best way, and deeply invested in helping people succeed. If you’re serious about your creative future and want guidance from someone who truly understands the industry and cares about your growth, I couldn’t recommend her more. ️️️️️
I have known Catherine for years now, and she has always had a big interest in the fashion industry. She is so talented and has so many valuable skills from which a lot of people could really benefit by taking her advice! She’s such a lovely, kind person and always goes out of her way to help others. I definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a fashion design tutor!
Catherine has a brilliant and unique mind. She’s extremely talented and creative. Having graduated from Central Saint Martins and interned for Vivienne Westwood, you could not be in better hands. She will guide you to your best potential. If you want a great portfolio or want to be your best self at an interview, definitely choose her!
I know Catherine as a close friend and creative peer, and I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated and thoughtful she is when guiding students with their portfolios and applications. Catherine is a highly knowledgeable and dedicated fashion design tutor who really understands what it takes to build a strong portfolio for CSM and other top fashion schools. She gives clear, structured guidance and is incredibly supportive throughout the creative process.
