About me
I am a highly creative individual looking to expand my experience and dive into a new role to develop and flourish within a creative role. For the past three years, I have been deep in the dazzling world of Swarovski crystal and bespoke couture, leading projects to showcase new and innovative fabrics and womenswear to the dance world. Due to the global pandemic, my role, like so many has been made redundant, so I am now seeking an equally exciting role to further progress my career and keep the creative industries growing!
