About me

A self motivated and imaginative Art Director/Fashion Photographer. From 2009 to June 2012 I produced and published a free monthly fashion & lifestyle magazine called Tres Chic, based in Marbella and the South West of England. For each issue I had to think of new and innovative ideas to ensure my magazine was read time after time. I designed the pages using InDesign, and photographed/directed the fashion & beauty spreads. From managing staff and budgets, print deadlines and meetings with advertisers, I have developed a clear understanding of the key principles of project management and most, if not all aspects of the fashion/lifestyle magazine industry, from coordinating a fashion shoot to designing an inspiring spread.
