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.

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.
