I can offer you strong guidance in learning my native language, using good pronunciation and phonetics training, so you can understand and be understood regardless of region.

My objective is to understand your aims, and help you achieve them in the way that works for you. My teaching method is both structured and fun to follow.

On our first meeting, we'll define your level and draft your bespoke leaning plan.

From lesson to lesson I like to encourage my students to carry out homework, not only in the form of traditional exercises and readings, but in assigning films & comedy sketches that will keep you engaged and motivated to learn more.

Digital Costume Designer & 3D Artist | Visiting Lecturer in 3D | Exhibiting Artist

Are you preparing a portfolio to apply for a degree in fashion or costume design? I’ll help you build a clear, compelling portfolio that showcases your creative voice and technical potential.

With over a decade of professional experience in theatre costume and a recent specialization in digital couture, I teach portfolio development the way schools expect it: concept-led, visually strong, and technically confident. As a visiting lecturer at the Estonian Academy of Arts and an exhibiting artist across Europe, I combine artistic direction with practical skills so your work reads as professional and original.

What we’ll work on

Concept & Storytelling: develop a coherent narrative and creative direction for your collection (moodboards, themes, visual research).

Sketching & Visuals: improve your drawing and digital sketching (Photoshop, Procreate workflows, AI-assisted ideation) to present polished looks.

3D & Technical Skills: translate ideas into virtual garments with CLO3D — patterns, fitting, and realistic digital samples.

Advanced Presentation: photoreal renders, motion/video reels, and portfolio layout (Cinema4D, Photoshop, After Effects).

Admissions Prep: portfolio sequencing, written artist statements, CV guidance, and mock admissions interviews in a professional context.

Who this is for

High-school students aiming for competitive fashion programs.

Aspiring designers who want a portfolio that balances creativity with technical evidence.

Students who use Procreate or Photoshop and want to add convincing 3D work to their application.

Why study with me

Rare combination of theatrical costume practice and cutting-edge digital couture.

Hands-on, project-driven lessons tailored to admissions criteria and jury expectations.
