About me

I’m a dynamic, creative and motivated Fashion Communication graduate from Heriot-Watt University, and have a keen interest in the world of fashion, public relations, digital media, business and music, and all the opportunities the industries provide. I also do freelance styling, styling musicians and producers like Strick, The Plug and Scuti. I have a variety of experience within the fashion industry already, including luxury retail, professional social media content creation, assisting stylists and designers as well as working in PR, both in London and New York. My previous experiences have taught me a lot about solving problems innovatively and managing my time efficiently, and I continue to learn more every day by taking short courses and researching trends and new developments that have an affect on the creative industries. I’m often described as someone who’s ready to take on any task needed and always on time with a good attitude, efficiency and creativity. During my studies I've also learned skills in film, photography, marketing, graphics, styling and fashion forecasting.
