About me

Having had my own fashion brand and 18 years experience in the industry from garment production to trend forecasting, I have gained extensive knowledge in Street Wear Band ownership, Product developing and creating content which is visually arresting, inclusive, relevant and coherent across all communication vehicles. Given my background with brands and my adept visual communication skills I feel confident that I could exceed your expectations for this role.

I relocated to the U.K from South Africa in 2015 to obtain a formal Post Graduate menswear diploma in fashion from central Saint martins. Since then and due to the relative success of my social media account I have been lucky enough to collaborate with high profile fashion brands and media publications as an image curator, art director and consultant.

My personal skills and strengths include:

- Refined design and typography capabilities using the full Adobe Creative Suite.

- Adept fashion directing skills, focusing on editorial, layout & fashion photography.

- Proven ability to positively influence and inspire departments, increasing productivity and confidence.

- Energetic, forward thinking, dependable & self-motivating with a high degree of collaborative work integrity.

- Globally informed, dynamic, focused, and driven design professional with a sophisticated and unique eye for design and detail.

- Developing trusting and lasting connections with peers and management.

- Ensuring and maintaining the highest level of a good work ethic.

- Extremely quick learner with the ability to naturally grasp new idea's, concept, methods and new technologies.

- Adept project management skills and extensive experience in orchestrating all aspects of the creative process.

- I respect the importance of taking full accountability/responsibly, good time management skills and being neat, prepared and organized at all times.

I pride myself on being creatively open-minded and actively seek out new and old creative references to maintain a uniquely progressive and provocative edge whilst ensuring brand integrity and heritage.
