In summary, I am a culturally engaged individual who has developed a keen eye for style and curation. I love the mixture of old and new, art and fashion, trash and luxe.
The style I have developed is a satirical, orchestrated kitsch perspective on life and our possessions. With this foundation I would welcome the opportunity to build on my knowledge and skills and participate enthusiastically in several creative processes, specifically styling and layout in printed publications.
I would welcome any experiences you might have in order to deepen my knowledge and understand the complexities of several creative processes.
