About me...

Hi, I'm Sophie.

I am a freelance swimwear and activewear designer with over 20 years of experience working with leading brands and retailers, including Speedo, Canterbury, Marks & Spencer, and Next.

With a strong technical design background, I have extensive knowledge of garment construction, fit, fabric performance, and product development. Having worked closely with suppliers across China, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Europe, I understand the entire design-to-production process.

Alongside my technical expertise, I stay closely connected to the latest swimwear and activewear trends, ensuring my designs are both commercially relevant and aligned with current market demand. I combine trend-led design with a strong understanding of what UK retailers and consumers are looking for, creating products that are stylish, functional, and commercially successful.

With my experience and industry insight, I can help you develop products that stand out in the market and appeal to leading retailers.
