I am a creative, reliable and motivated individual, I take pride in the work I do and strive to make the best effort at any opportunities and duties I am faced with. I have 3+ years’ work experience that mainly consists of bar work and other hospitality roles, sales, charity work and supervisor training, but I am looking to find a role that will benefit my studies and further prepare me for the career path I hope to pursue.
I am currently studying Fashion Design at The University of East London, with a particular interest in the areas of menswear, fashion marketing, illustration and design. I am comfortable saying that I have enough relevant knowledge to allow me to pursue a job within the industry successfully, preferably retail, this has been gained through experience I have acquired from links in the industry, education, work experience and working amongst people in the field.
I am positive and friendly and I believe I am hardworking: as a team or alone. Whatever it is I am doing, I will try my hardest and work to the best of my ability. I love meeting new people and I am confident with starting conversations. I strive to learn something new every day and from that, be able to pass that knowledge on to other people.
I am a freelance illustrator, I recently started selling my prints and products, which are individually designed for each buyer, working independently has taught me a lot about sales and has really motivated me to interpret my work ethic into a role that will allow more time for my illustration but at the same time, teach me new things and motivate me in new and exciting ways.

More Progression







Progression

its been about a year since I started to put my illustration out publicly, and as a result of that, my work has massively developed. I have developed my own distinctive style of my subject. I have started writing more and gained the confidence to speak about my work and to let other people see it. I have sold my work and recieved amazing praise for my progress. I have really found something I love to do and want to carry on doing as long as I possibly can.
