Bio
Natelle Baddeley
Heidi is an outstanding creative lead. Heidi reported to me directly at Debenhams. Prior to that we also worked together for a number of yours in the same team at Marks & Spencer. Heidi has an ability to accurately identify future trends and execute into highly commercial collections. She has a strong creative flair for color, print and form, creating the most flattering lines. Her vast experience of swimwear design provides a solid foundation to apparel design work.She applies her knowledge and expertise delivering not only beautiful looking collections but perfect fitting product, with an outstanding hit-rate. This is what sets Heidi apart from other apparel design leads. Heidi’s has well rounded leadership skills she knows how to get the best from a design team and is also a strong cross divisional collaborator. I would hire Heidi again without pause.

Heidi was the most wonderful leader and head of design I have ever had the pleasure to work for. Her work ethic and support is something I will look back on and take with me to any future role I do. She is dynamic, inspirational and trend focused. Heidi is dedicated to not only creating successful sales and numbers for the brand, she is also dedicated to the team she leads- a true leader in the sense of the word. Her calm nature, organisational skills and time management really helped focus the team. She was always supportive individually, with career progression and over all support day to day. I thank Heidi for her support and leadership. The time spent under Heidi, has enabled me to transition into a stronger designer with a wealth of skills that were enhanced by working with her.
