I recently graduated with a BA Fashion Illustration degree at London College of Fashion and am currently working full-time as a senior sales assistant in Religion clothing.
Art, fashion and illustration have always been a passion of mine and after studying fashion design and illustration at high school, I realised that these are the topics that I’d like to focus my career on. I have attended and completed many courses such as; photography, graphic design and computer software (Procreate, Lightroom, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign). These allowed me to develop my skills as an artist and gave me access to more platforms to display and include my ideas, opinions and extravagant personality into my product.
The range of internships that I have undertaken have varied across multiple different areas within the creative and fashion industry. I have been given the opportunity to accomplish and perfect each stage from research and design to production and sales with both clients and fashion buyers in each of the roles I have acted.
In my previous work experiences, I have consistently maintained an excellent relationship with colleagues and managers, supported by my ability to work successfully within a team as well as independently in completing tasks. I am well organised and passionate to succeed with a positive outlook with any given task.
As of recently, I have focused my energy towards events management, creative contents, promotion and branding. Simultaneously, I am a co-founder of a project called 'Woke Women Ldn'(www.wokewomenldn.com), which aims to embrace every aspect of womanhood and to support women by sharing stories of strength, identity and empowerment, also promoting body confidence and sex positivity. Woke Women is both a brand and a community which successfully hosts events such as open discussions, art workshops (that I personally lead), exhibitions and music events. Furthermore, I manage Woke Women’s website and social media, including the design of illustrations and graphic content - @wokewomen.ldn.
Projects
- Woke Women Book'Woke women book' is a project which I personally created for my FPM in Illustration and aims to share women empowerment through the promotion of body confidence and women sexuality. All of the drawings are inspired by selfies that female friends or random girls who follow me on Instagram sent to me; with their picture they also sent me thoughts about their bodies or sexuality, telling the way they have been struggling to accept themselves in this sick society.
