I am an award-winning millinery designer who has a shop in the Iconic Oxo Tower London.
I have worked with designers and artists such as Jasper Gavida, Stephen Jones, The Noisetts, Lily Allen, Dita Von Teese, Jameela Jamil to name a few.
I have successfully taught thousands of students all about millinery and business over the years and worked with companies such as Visa, Investec, Royal Bank of Canada to put on special millinery events in venues such as the Cliveden house, Chewton Glen, Berkley Hotel, the Rosewood Hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions:
How does the Millinery & Business Academy work?
The Millinery & Business Academy is a monthly membership, a bit like Netflix – except each month you’re a member you unlock a brand new lesson. Each month has a different theme with unique tutorials and trainings that you’ll go through with the community. Once you’ve unlocked a month of content, you keep access to it, so you can revisit it whenever you like.
Are any of the workshops in-person, or are they all online?
I’m completely brand new to hat making, is this going to be too advanced for me?
Definitely not! During the membership, you’ll have trainings on the basics all the way through to advanced techniques. Everything is taught in an easy-to-follow way so that you’ll be able to keep up even if you’ve never made a hat before. And if you ever get stuck, you’ll have 24/7 access to the member’s community to help you!
I’ve already taken a Millinery course, will I be repeating things I already know?
Depending on which qualification or training you’ve already done you might find that the first lesson is a little basic for you, but don’t let that put you off!
The next month is on PR with the amazing Lucy Griffith, a Journalist and TV Editor, she is also doing Q&A session with us so you can ask any questions in that.
The month after that will be on Sculptural 1940’s felt hats and we are interviewing Petershams to get their take on the millinery world, after this in the coming months we will cover Sculptural Ascot Hats, futuristic hats, sculptural feathers, block making, paradisal straw, Abaca Fabric and lots more.
On the business side, how to run your millinery business, how to sell, bring in customers, get your business on the first page of google, how to design, use social media effectively and lots more!
If anything you’ll be spoiled for choice with all the new workshops and tutorials at your fingertips!

This is entirely up to you! You can be a member for as many months as you like, but I bet that once you’ve experienced the magic you won’t want to leave!

Yes, every module will be kept on the membership site so as long as you are a member you will be able to have a look and learn from any bundle at any time.
What is the qualification, and how do I get it?
Life is about to get busy, so I'm wondering if I should wait and join the NEXT round?
