Portugal
Hi! I’m Abbie, a bold and vibrant designer passionate about blending fashion, creativity, and education to reimagine a brighter, more colourful world. My journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion and Technology from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute and a Master’s from the Royal College of Art in London, where I cultivated a deep love for cross-disciplinary experimentation. From designing Olympic performance wear at Adidas Brooklyn Creator Farm to founding STIR STUDIO, my creative consultancy, I’ve always been drawn to work that challenges conventions. I’ve had the privilege of lecturing at Cambridge International and the Royal College of Art, inspiring fresh perspectives in the next generation of designers. One of the most rewarding parts of my career has been helping young designers find their unique creative voices. Whether in Hong Kong, London, or further afield, I’ve guided students to experiment, explore, and embrace their individuality, nurturing both their artistic and personal growth. I’m excited to channel my creativity, mentoring experience, and passion for humanitarian causes into opportunities that unite design with social impact. Whether through community-focused projects, educational initiatives, or innovative problem-solving, I’m eager to make a difference in people’s lives while collaborating with organisations that value creativity and positive change. Let’s connect and see how we can create a meaningful impact together, always with a splash of colour and a playful twist!
