About me
I am a professional with three years of experience in the luxury fashion sector, working across departments from product development to production, copywriting to social media management. I am currently undertaking a part-time MSc at the LSE (UoL) in Environmental Policy + Regulation. This endeavour is enabling me to further my desire to be a part of a movement that fights to bring about much-needed change as well as focus on projects at the intersection of creativity and sustainability. To this end, I am currently working as a marketing + brand manager for an emerging womenswear designer. I particularly enjoy working with brands that prioritise sustainability, quality and craftsmanship, all the while pursuing a bold creative vision.

  • The Haulternative Closet: Organising London's First Luxury Clothes Swap
    The Haulternative Closet: Organising London's First Luxury Clothes SwapFinding beauty in the chaos, the Haulternative Closet is an event series daring to revamp the clothes swapping industry. The name stems from an amalgamation of the words "Haul", and "Alternative" credited to NGO—Fashion Revolution. This elevated swapping event is a response to the need to find creative and innovative solutions to fashion's pollution problem—a challenge which we hope to play a humble role in resolving.
