About me
In 2019 I graduated from The University Of The Arts London. Here, I studied Design For Art Direction and received an upper second class degree. I chose this degree course in particular because it covers not just the practical aspects of design and creativity but, it also teaches the skills needed for both leadership and managing the creative processes in collaboration with others.
These managerial skills, I believe, are incredibly useful across many work environments. I learnt a range of skills associated with being an art director and working in the creative industries, this included being assigned Projects and activities in which were designed to help develop a creative vision, a visual language and strong contextual awareness that engages intended audiences. The course gave me a multi-disciplinary approach to art direction, having had the opportunity to develop understanding and application of graphic design, moving image, photography, exhibition and set design. Throughout my degree my work has shown a strong bias towards curation, set design and immersive design, fashion branding.
Independently, I have worked on commercial projects such as: assisting stylist Jodie Barnes for the for the Chalayan Womens A/W collection 2020. I have also styled and assisted on fashion shoots for photographers such as Kerri Dean. To fund my degree I have worked for independent boutiques as well as high end brand such as Hermés & Selfridges. Here I learnt a small amount of visual merchandising skills & window dressing.
Currently I am running my own online homeware business.
