About me

I am an instinctively creative individual and have shown on my degree course that fashion is where I exude real flair, personality and passion. I have demonstrated my creative ability at any opportunity in my employment at All That Glitters Bridal, from styling clients in appointments to window dressing and designing shop floor layouts and displays. I have also shown my organisational and managerial skills by successfully designing and manufacturing my graduate collection and most recently in my position as Assistant Manager. Through work experience at fashion companies and at London Fashion Week I have proved my reliability and capability to work professionally, under pressure and at the fast pace of the fashion industry. My aim is to pursue a full time career in this industry where my skills and talent can be utilized fully and avidly.
