A practised fashion graduate with experience in many aspects of design, specifically specialising in knitwear. Strong communicator with great organisational skills and an experienced leader. I am hard working and always look to strive within my career and whichever role I take on.
Having graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University, achieving a 2:1 in fashion Design, I maintained motivation when becoming furloughed and when opportunities were limited by creating my own independent business. This is an ongoing project for me and fits in around other commitments.
Returning from a self-funded year of travelling last year, around Latin America, Australia and South East Asia, the time away has inspired me to immerse myself within many different cultures and has taught me various new and transferable skills. Since returning I am now very focused and have a strong ambition to widen my knowledge of different aspects of the fashion industry by securing a position within.
