My main focus is reducing micro plastic pollution through non-plastic based products. The product I am currently developing Linen Leather, aims to replace current polyurethane ‘vegan’ leather with a biodegradable non-plastic alternative.

In regards to strengths for any other FFF projects I have a background in textile testing and quality control, an interest in reducing textile waste and experience in textile design/structure.

  • What are your aspirations and plans for the future?: Currently aiming to develop this product further so it can be used in prototypes and brought to the market in the longer term. I plan to create a company around this idea- the main aspiration currently is to find an eco-polymer than can be used to create the leather look aspect of the Linen Leather. After that the plan is to create prototypes and create a fully realised product.
  • What types of projects are you interested in working on through Future Fashion Factory?: I am currently developing a biodegrable upcycled ‘vegan’ leather, which is made from a base of recycled linen/cotton. I would like to develop this further and hope that FFF will be able to assist me in this.
