I am a highly organised Production Co-ordinator with over 5 years experience working with designers such as Meadham Kirchhoff, Ashish and Marques Almeida.
Having worked in a range of various roles from Print design to Studio management as well as my most recent role as a production Co-Ordinator, I consider myself a highly organised and adaptable person. I have always been interested in pursuing a career within other creative fields and I believe now is a great time to seek new and exciting opportunities.
I am very self driven and enjoy working on my own, but I also consider myself a helpful and intuitive team player. I think from working within production departments for various high-end fashion brands I am used to a fast paced ever changing work environment and have often been the main point of contact with factories and suppliers from all over Europe, India and China. Therefore gaining excellent written and verbal communication skills and having developed a professional and pleasant manner.
I have experience working with a range of programs including a good knowledge of the Adobe Suite - mainly within Photoshop as well as the Microsoft Office and Google suites. I also have a good knowledge of the screen printing process having run my own t-shirt brand for the past year.
