Growing up in the beautiful and ancient countryside of Wiltshire Hattie was surrounded by mystery and history. In 2018 she moved to the contrasting landscape of London where she attended the prestigious foundation course in Art and Design at Kingston School of Art. Specialising in Fashion Design. She developed a profound and insatiable interest in visual research and received a distinction grade.

In 2021 she graduated with a first class honours bachelor's degree in Costume for Performance from London College of Fashion with specialist skills in design, pattern drafting, cutting and technical making skills. She developed innovative design outcomes made up of augmented reality and bespoke craftsmanship, discussing historical persecution of women as witches bridging the past to the future with a hybrid of new and old textures.

Now, she is currently enrolled in a Masters of Art degree in History of Design at the Royal College of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum. With a plethora of administrative experience working in Events, Hattie is now embarking upon a career in archives, specifically working with historical objects, in particular textiles, which have a magical relationship with their owner. She is fascinated by the archive as a source of history and with how individual lives intersect with the apparatus of the state, and how these identities and histories are constructed. Her career aim is to reshape historical narratives to wide audiences using objects to uncover public histories as well as shine new perspectives on traditional and conventional historical accounts.
