About me
I have most recently studied and progressed in the field of Acting, however previous to this my interests lay in art, design and fashion. I was in pursuit of this career path initially, but after studying those subjects from GCSE to AS level in my early education, I felt compelled to follow my passion for acting and develop a career in performance. Throughout my years in studying acting and performance, I have still always found links to my original passion for design and creating. In varying shows, I became a volunteering and delegated maker of props, small items of costume and designer/illustrator of poster-related advertisements for our shows. Any endeavor I venture, in any job or task, I usually find a way to incorporate something I can design myself and make my own. I have always adored the world of fashion and used to pour over fashion magazines for hours; interpreting looks, replicating make-up, designing my own clothes designs influenced by images I loved. Anything that involves a design brief, a theme, a creative team, creative interpretation and some artistic inspiration, I enjoy and feel I can excel at. Therefore I would love to have a job role that revolves around these elements. I work hard, am enthusiastic and get a buzz from generating and carrying out ideas, I want to bring clients visions to fruition and to collaborate in order to have a final product that everyone is fully satisfied with, and feel they have contributed to.
