About me
A motivated and driven BA (Hons) Fashion Design with Marketing, and Digital Technology graduate 2020. Throughout my time at university the modules I have completed are comprehensive and varied giving me a strong knowledge in diverse areas such as design, marketing, and digital technology.

Instigating best practice procedures into the daily workflow has enabled me to thrive in high-pressure situations where the goal has been met before deadlines.
