About me
I am a motivated, hard working and reliable person with experience in a variety of fields. I am familiar and comfortable working within small and large teams and am happy working in a busy environment. I have a strong understanding of service and ensure that all my work is of a very high standard. This experience, combined with my natural ability to work within a team, ensure that I have added value to every environment in which I have worked.
I have a passion for both fashion and beauty. I see beauty and makeup as a form of artwork and feel my experience in both art and textile marries perfectly with the beauty industry. I dedicate my spare time visiting art galleries and design exhibitions but also working on my own designs. I take a huge interest in upcoming trends within the fashion and beauty industry and follow the work of artists, interior, beauty and design trends. I have a subscription to the Tate Modern and Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and buy Living Etc magazine every month for contemporary inspiration. I am constantly focusing on new beauty trends and product releases to gain skills and knowledge of the subject. I also follow my favourite designers and beauty brands and bloggers on Instagram and other social media which gives me insight into what inspires them and their branding focus. I also follow people on Bloglovin and Flicker, which gives me a sound knowledge of peoples changing ideas and perspectives. I showcase my own work to enable people to get to know my work and attention to detail
