About me
A thriving, young, creative mind, currently working in fashion retail and looking for the opportunity to break out into the world of visual communication.
Lived in London for 3 years since graduating from the University for the Creative Arts, studying Fashion Promotion, specialising in Styling/Art direction/Branding.
Since, work experience has given the opportunity to work in many facets of the fashion industry, such as, Styling assistant, Marketing and Media assistant, Trend researcher, Promoter, Graduate Teacher and currently Visual Merchandiser for the British Heritage brand 'Barbour'.
"I am now in search of the place that defines me as a person, where I can bring my experiences to a new platform and share creative thinking with others, encouraging people to stop and look.'
Projects
- MoonA university minor mock project:- MOON is a luxury arts/conceptual visionary publication. It is a Mook, making the magazine more luxury and a less of a throwaway object. It indulges in fashion, photography, creative writing, and other medias. Each issue has a theme and so every contribution is carefully thought out. MOON is a niche magazine for both men and women who value and respect art and culture. It is an inspirational, intellectual publication and provokes thought in a visual manner. Every issue of MOON is produced by a guest editor.
