  • About F.A.

    My passion is translating the complexities of legal disputes in the creative industries.

    As Featured in Law School News

    Once a fashion designer, and now a third year law student in the North East.

A previous employer of mine told me, “fashion is a mindset and so is law; bridge the two and you can manipulate your way out of anything!”
