About me
I am a brand strategist who primarily focuses on social and environmental sustainability, curating thought-provoking solutions. My creative practice looks at building strategies and innovate concepts to meet the demands of ethical business models for high-street brands. I am keen to expand my knowledge and strengths into visual merchandising, both online and offline, forming immersive concepts, driven by consumer engagement. Moving forward, after graduating I want to continue exploring the world of sustainability and how it will continue to play a huge part in the fashion industry we know today and in the future.
Projects
  • Sustainable Strategic Plan for Gymshark
    Sustainable Strategic Plan for GymsharkPlan consisting of long and short-term solutions for fitness apparel brand, Gymshark. This plan effectively mitigates Gymsharks weaknesses after identifying a growth of consumer demand for brands (including Gymshark) to progressively take action of their unsustainable business models and practices. By doing so, it opens up a space for opportunity and growth whilst vastly improving business performance through implementation of the triple bottom line.

    During my time at university, I had the opportunity to learn and experience the world of sustainability surrounding fashion. In my final project, I developed a sustainable strategic plan consisting of long and short- term solutions to build concrete proposals for fitness apparel brand, Gymshark. I have become aware of the damaging effects of the fashion industry and want to do my part as a creative to continue pursuing solution-orientated work in hopes we move into a circular industry.
