I am a highly motivated and creative individual who is always looking to further my knowledge of many industries. I am a trained womenswear fashion and textile designer and also enjoy fashion styling and photography. I am a member of a design collective called ‘UNTOLD’ who show twice annually at London Fashion Week and am involved in various projects with other designers offering a platform for young creative’s in the fashion industry. I have a lot of experience ranging from design in both fashion and textiles to administration, audio typing and project coordinating.
I have over 7 years’ experience in promotional work for various agencies and clients and have enjoyed stand in work as an extra for the last 3 years. My passion lies in drawing, illustration and working with printed textiles. My strengths lie in computer-aided design in which I have many years experience. I am currently fully available throughout the week and also at the weekends. I can be very flexible with the hours and days that I work and am particularly looking for work in London, Brighton and the South East. View
