About me

I am an art director with a background as a fashion designer, well versed in all aspects of creating a vision for each season and leading a design team to execute a well-formed and unique story. Whilst being responsible for curating the mood and concepts, I also steer the aesthetics, styling and collaboration of each collection. In my current job I plan the conception of catwalk presentations, comprising casting, lighting, music and mood. Regular meetings confirm the company’s design direction and the managing of work responsibilities. Each season my remit includes the execution of the creative concept, campaign shoots and story-boards for films. I am seeking an exciting, progressive opportunity in an art director’s role where I can contribute my innovative ideas and interests to expand my knowledge in all aspects of art and design. Always willing to push beyond my comfort zone, I want to build on my skills in a diverse environment.
