About me

Born in Edinburgh , I’m a fashion obsessive, literature and art fiend and sustainability enthusiast. Striving towards a career in the fashion industry, I am passionate about getting involved in working in the growing business of making fashion more sustainable. I have a background in fashion retail, marketing and writing and am currently writing all about shoes (one step closer to my dream of an Imelda Marcos inspired shoe collection) for a leading UK footwear retailer.
