About me
Instagram: @ejf_communications
I Am A Recent Fashion Graduate From Leeds Arts University, And Am Currently In The Midst Of Searching For An Opportunity To Begin My Creative Career In The Working World.
Whilst Studying Fashion Communication And Design At University, I Offered My Time To Brands That Required An Intern. These Internships Have Been With:
- Zlata Alekhno – An Up And Coming Sustainable Fashion Brand
- Pepper Your Talk – An Educational Platform To Guide Fashion Graduates
Who Are Wanting To Progress Within The Fashion Industry
- Empowered Earth - A Developing Global Health And Wellbeing Brand.
These Internships Included Completing Tasks Such As: Website Construction, Photography, Graphic Design, PR And Marketing, As Well As Utilising My Perfectionist Skills To Strategically Create Social Media Content To Entice Consumers To Interact With The Brands, Gaining Brand Attraction And Sales.
Aside From All Of These Internships And Voluntary Positions, I Have Also Led And Collaborated On Many Projects. I Have Used My Styling And Creative Direction Abilities Within A Large Majority Of The Projects Featured Within My Portfolio, As Well As My Management Skills To Create Visually Stimulating And Thought Provoking Art. Some Of This Work Has Led Me To Being Shortlisted For The Styling And Creative Direction Award By The Graduate Fashion Foundation.
Throughout My Life I Have Taken Part In The Arts, But I Have Discovered My Passion For Making A Change To Our Industry And Society, Helping To Right The Wrongs That Are Happening Every Day To So Many People. The Fashion Industry Is A Billion Pound Industry That Has An Enormous Platform That Could And Should Be Used To Create Positive Change Within Our Society.
Art With The Added Bonus Of Supporting A Cause Is A Recipe For A Better Society. Each Of Us Taking The Little Steps To Better Ourselves, And To Support Each Other.
