I have a broad skill set and range of experience spanning professional photography, retouching, graphic and web design, fashion merchandising, marketing, retail and business management.
In 2010 I set up a successful photography and graphic design company - Vanilla Collective - and established a strong portfolio of projects and clients.
My work has featured in world-wide publications, and I have also had photographic work exhibited in the Royal Academy of Arts' Summer Exhibition.
I am currently the location library manager for one of London's leading location agencies. It is a pivotal role involving location and client relationship management, social media presence and data analysis and reporting.
