In 2007 Heather was invited to open Galway Fashion Week with her latest collection and regularly participates in public events such as Off The Rails, Style In The City, The Craft Fair and Billion Dollar Babes.
After being selected for The Craft Council of Ireland’s ‘Making it in Business’ programme, Heather was subsequently selected to exhibit at ‘Breaking Out’, an exhibition of ‘some of Ireland’s most promising and talented emerging makers’ at the National Craft Gallery in Kilkenny in 2008.
Heather exhibits annually at ‘Showcase’, the country's premier fashion and design trade fair and continues to show her collections at Dublin Fashion Week. She has also participated in The Collective Fashion Show during fashion week 2008.
