About me
I am a creative graduate with a bachelor's degree in illustration. I enjoy every aspect of art, that being drawing, painting, digital design, although I am most passionate working in Fashion as it is creative, seductive, ever-evolving and a very strong form of art. To me I use fashion to express myself and show my personality whilst also staying inquisitive to new trends. In my extensive set of technical skills, I'm proficient in pattern making, fabric cutting and construction. I am an excellent communicator, keen to learn, hardworking, conscientious and always maintain a positive attitude. Having most recently explored a career in media communications, from researching editorial content to fulfilling administrative duties, I have developed strong operational and organizational skills which I look to bring to future opportunities.
