About me
I am a Fashion Buying graduate with huge amounts of self drive and creative vision. I have a lot of experience in the creative and fashion industry; juggling a significant amount of responsibility,
I'm currently a Social Media Executive working for a fashion company (Nicce). I have over 50K followers across two instagram accounts, one mens, one womens and control their other platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest, ensuring consistancy and performance across all of them.
I also construct the photoshoots for the brand, sourcing models and photographers and building campaign concepts. I then control their website, writing the blurbs, copywriting, taking and editing product shots etc.
I then control their PR, in regards to social media this would include collaborations with musicians, models, magazines etc.
I am ultimately interested in taking my next step in the fashion industry, focusing on editing, marketing, social media & journalism. I have a great passion for writing, and would like to learn more, hands on in the industry from a talented and inspiring team. I am also a skilled photographer (having studied it for two years) and anything creative, particularly in regards to culture and fashion having studied Fashion in University.
I would be a great addition to any business as I am extremely personable, have a warm and friendly disposition with the ability to make people smile. I am emotionally intelligent, confident and great at building and maintaining positive relationships. These qualities combined with a genuine sense of humour, self-drive and highly creative vision are the qualities I believe will allow me to thrive within an inspiring establishment.
