I am a determined and focused individual, fast learner and embrace new situations and environments, as well as meeting new people. I constantly feel energised by the excitement and interactional aspect of working on projects with teams of creative people. I can work both independently and as a strong team. I am a very welcoming and motivated person who has been praised on my ability to make all ages of people feel at ease in my presence. I am a very confident person whom relishes indulging into new surroundings with innovative and exciting learning prospects.
I have graduated with a 2:1 in Fine Art at the University of Leeds, during this time I developed my critical, analytical and personal skills through discipline and motivation. I have developed and designed my own artist website, primarily showcasing my portfolio, selling printed and framed products of my artwork and printed clothing. I have a huge interest in fashion and how it has become more than just clothing, it is about creating a lifestyle for people to follow and I am particularly fascinated how fashion can empower, identify and dictate the image you put across. By nature, I have a strong background of aesthetics, I am a painter, illustrator, graphic designer, photographer and videographer. I have a very close relationship with technology and creativity, with a strong background photography and film-making.
I often take a logical and analytical approach to solving problems and resolving issues, attempting to instead look at the issue at hand from a unique angle. My calm and resolved demeanour allows me to tackle issues with a confident and understanding approach.
