When I graduated my Masters in Cinematography I sought to combine my passion for fashion, music & culture with a cinematic foundation. Throughout lockdown, making the most out of an inability to physically work in film sets or at fashion events; I created a clothing brand. The conception of the brand stemmed from a simple struggle, being 6ft 11 I often can't find clothing that fits me, so I made my own. I designed, produced and marketed the brand myself, not cutting any corners. These were cut and sew, quality pieces made in the UK. I took the opportunity to experience the steep learning curve pertaining to being an entrepreneur and was receptive throughout the process. I took on responsibilities including (but not limited to) website design, production, logistics, media and sales. It was a learning experience, and I'm appreciative regardless of the outcome.
This cemented my desire to work in a creative capacity that I love, spearheading the industry through class leading content. In May, I took on a position as a junior video editor at Culted, a very young but fast-growing self-proclaimed GEN-Z media company. After 3 months I took on further responsibility to stream line my work flow process. Rather than waiting for writers or narrators to work on my projects, I would handle these elements myself. This is a testament to my mindset, I want to grow and develop as professional as well as a person, becoming better day by day. I'll attach several links to videos I worked on recently from start to finish. Within this position I worked on, organic unboxing content, street style and scripts videos. Within fashion weeks I regularly worked 70 hour weeks with high-pressure deadlines from brands such as Nike, Prada, Tommy Hilfiger, Diesel & Bottega Veneta. I can write compelling articles, regardless of being long-form educational pieces or captivating snappy social media content. Throughout my Honours, MA and various creative endeavours I have a very well rounded skillset in filmmaking, including camera operation, direction and editing. I'm very competent in Premiere Pro, Photoshop & Final Cut.
I would appreciate an opportunity to showcase my multi-faceted abilities within a creative capacity. I'm looking for a creative output to sharpen my tools in a professional and personal sense.
