About me
Since October 2024, I have worked at INK as their Creative Studio Assistant. I have continued to develop a strong visual lexicon encompassing a wide range of mediums; from traditional & conceptual forms of image-making to further enhancing my skills & understanding of photography & visual culture as a whole. I also head the social media & marketing channels to help amplify INK’s mission of creating work that endures. Before joining INK, I graduated from Central Saint Martins with an MA in Fashion Communication: Fashion Image. During this time I honed my skillset within photography, art direction & visual research. I earned my 1st class BA from the University of Brighton in Fashion Communication with Business Studies. My specialism within image-making, visual culture & high fashion has led to prominent freelance opportunities since graduating, such as working with the British Fashion Council, ANCC Studio & Spanish fashion house Carlota Barrera as an art director & visual researcher; alongside shooting various campaigns & personal projects as a photographer. In 2024, I was invited by SHOWStudio as a panellist for the SS25 season, alongside undertaking an annual position at Central Saint Martins as a guest lecturer; speaking on the work of Martin Margiela. I was profiled for OURS Zine which was founded by former fashion features editor of i-D magazine, Steve Salter. I have continued to build a strong social media presence with over 10M monthly impressions & 30,000 followers on X. I create content surrounding high fashion, art & design by using image & visual curation as a tool for effective communication, user engagement & knowledge building.
