About me

Hi, I’m Leila. I am a newly qualified Casting Assistant looking to work across projects for film, TV and fashion. I recently completed my training at the National Film & Television School and have since worked on projects with Casting Directors Shaheen Baig and Sonia Allam Casting. For the past 5+ years I have also been working as a freelance fashion stylist, with experience in photographic styling (including fashion e-com, campaign, Look Book, commercial, editorial and social content) as well as moving image and advertising. Previous clients and publications include Adidas, Selfridges, Hypebae and HUF Magazine. I have a background in visual display and window dressing as well as a passion for film and (mostly modern and postmodern) art. I also love craft beer!
