I am a recent graduate in Fashion Design from Norwich University of the Arts. I am looking for a position where I can use the many and varied skills gained during my intensive vocational degree.
My working experience includes time at ASOS where I gained insight into how online fashion works, City and Guilds where I gained general office experience and Victoria’s Secret where I experienced fashion retail and working with the public.
These environments have taught me to think on my feet, improve my organisational skills and enhance my adaptability in fast paced, rapidly changing environments.
As well as being eager to learn, I hope to add value to the company I’ll be working for. I am a good timekeeper and communicator; I am reliable and presentable; willing to contribute my best in whatever I’m asked to do.
I was due to start working at Jaeger before the Covid outbreak but they could not honour the offer. However, I have taken the opportunity to improve my sewing, craft, Office, and illustration skills during lockdown.
