GIVING BACK IS A HUGE FLEX!!! 💚🧶✨

A few weeks ago, I was invited by @ual_creativeshift to give a talk and host a workshop as part of their Connect to Meet Up programme at @lcflondon_

It was a super intimate session, but genuinely one of my favourites. The students and young creatives were such a pleasure to meet, with so many engaging questions, conversations and ideas.

After the talk, we got hands on with an AGR workshop where everyone created their own signature AGR beanie. We explored different fabrics, textures and embellishments, alongside some basic sewing techniques and fabric knowledge, giving everyone the freedom to experiment and create something completely individual to them.

Being able to share the real journey behind AGR, pass on some of the skills I’ve learnt along the way and hopefully inspire the next generation of creatives is something I’ll never take for granted.

Can’t wait to see what they all do next!! 🙏🏻

Tek up the Space! Huge congrats to our 2026 Women+ of Colour in Leadership students and graduates cohort 🤩

Last month was a moment, watch the growth and confidence of the students build over the 11 weeks, learning about teamwork and pitching amazing ideas & solutions to @brita.uk & @irisworldwide

Programmes like this don’t happen without a collective effort 🥹 so massive thank you to all our UAL colleagues & industry friends that supported.

Special thank you to the best leadership coach Jannett Morgan, this year’s graduate ambassador Anjali Greaves who did her thing and Ammarah Ahmed for supporting on content ☺️
