About me
I am a city dweller who loves to travel, read and create. As a Clothing Developer with a Fashion and Dress History degree, I have great commercial awareness teamed with creative and technical skills. I have found that nothing satisfies me more than meeting new people, developing new relationships, solving problems and contributing to the overall growth of a business.
