Coming from predominantly medium sized creative teams I have quickly learned the importance of multitasking, effective planning, cross-functionality and the ability to effectively work in fast-paced pressured environments. I have a strong understanding of both the luxury and contemporary market and experience in commercially driven and directional designing. I enjoy being challenged and I understand the significance of teamwork, motivation and hardwork.
