I am a 22 year old Fashion Communication graduate currently based in Newcastle upon Tyne, and am keen to begin my career in the industry. I am currently available for employment and/or freelance work, and am open to opportunities that will allow me to utilise my broad skill set as part of a dynamic and talented team. If you’d like to drop me a message, click here, or visit my LinkedIn profile. 

 

I am perceptive individual who is often inspired by current events, taking a conceptual and critical approach to featuring them in my response to a variety of briefs. My final major project, for example, is a newspaper publication titled Zeitgeist, which is a response to the current climate of political unrest, featuring articles on a range of subjects including political and social issues. The aim is to galvanise the 18-30 year old demographic into putting their strong and valuable opinions into action for wider change, read more about it here. My motivation is driven by a strong belief system, which has resulted in the theme of feminism featuring throughout much of my work. I have thus produced two publications centred on the subject, most notably my recent project Femmehood magazine. Femmehood aims to empower and inspire the upcoming generation of female creatives, profiling empowered and independent females embracing success in their respective creative fields. See the project in its entirety here. 

 

I have been previously shortlisted for my journalistic skills in the Diversity Now! national competition in association with All Walks Beyond the Catwalk and i-D magazine for my article, ‘Can feminism and fashion authentically go hand in hand, or are the forward-thinking fashion elite just kidding themselves?’. I have also been awarded for my entrepreneurial skills this past year, with my group start-up business, Black Elephant Lace Company, being awarded ‘Best Business Proposition 2016/17’ by Northumbria Graduate Enterprise. 

 

I have gained invaluable insight into the industry working on live briefs with both O-PR agency on behalf of Dr. Martens and customer experience design company Household. Producing innovative new PR campaigns featuring promotional E-PR strategy alongside a fashion film, and a trend publication identifying two new trends for 2016/2017. 

 

My experience outside of university interning at Jules B and Sheer Luxe has given me invaluable experience using CMS software and assisting on shoots, whilst giving me the opportunity to hone my writing skills for a targeted audience through writing SEO for all new stock, managing social media and blogging regularly. This is a skill I continue to work on now, via my own blog.
