I am a Creative Director that has recently graduated from Solent University with a First Class BA Honours in Makeup Design. My experience as Editor-in-Chief at a student-run online magazine, honed my skills in design and project management. I'm currently enhancing my practical experience at Quex Activity Center, contributing to event planning and execution while carrying out personal photoshoots in my spare time.
While I do have much experience working within collaborative efforts, I have an equal amount in self direction, learning and motivation. I am able to work confidently independently to generate concepts to a brief and brands aesthetics, taking on board any feedback to reflect and embed into my practice moving forward. I specialize in art direction, communicating with a team to construct an image.
Manspread is my personal publication exploring the absence of femininity through abstract masks.
