"I was looking to try something a little bit more creative, so I kind of scaled back my hours at work and started theMA Circular by Design, because it was part-time and flexible . I knew that I could get loads of practical skills, like learning how to use a machine, but also that I would be connected to actual designers and makers. It gave me the opportunity to test the waters to see if I'd be able to make a career out of design and sustainable fashion in Ireland. One year on, I can now say I am working in the sustainable fashion industry"
