About me
Hi there I’m Izzy, I am hardworking and ambitious individual aiming to utilise my unique, creative flair to work within the digital communications industry. I have an eye for detail and a love of self expression and classic fashion, my favourite fashion photographer is Helmut Newton. I have an extremely high level of commitment and an outstanding work ethic and would like to work alongside others that would enable me to develop my skillset further. I am passionate about working with ambitious and inspiring people as I aim be those things too.
