Fionnuala’s passion for creative design comes from her family – many of whom have been involved in fashion and the arts. She describes herself as being, “born with a sewing needle in her hand” and Project Catwalk is not her first entry to a fashion design competition.

She recently made it to the final in the Irish Young Designer category of The Persil Awards. Currently working as a visual merchandiser for a high street retailer, she is hungry to get her big break in the industry through Project Catwalk.
