017 Innovating in the fashion industry with business owner Louise Atiba-Davies

‘I’m learning, constantly learning’

Louise Atiba-Davies has worked in the fashion industry for 18 years as a designer for a range of household name commercial high street brands. At the start of the pandemic, Louise took the jump to work freelance in order to make changes in the industry she was becoming disillusioned with. Initially working freelance, she has now set up her business In House Creative Agency, which uses 3D design to make waves in the fashion industry.

Louise talks through:

Moving from working freelance to running a business and the necessary mindset change involved. From 2D sketches to 3D computer aided design; how 3D design aids sustainability in product design. Being a conscious shopper, understanding the production chain of clothes you buy, and using The Ethical Consumer. The many different roles you play as a business owner and building confidence in your abilities. An insider view of the fashion and garment production industry in China.
