A B O U T M E
An experienced creative leader with a demonstrated history of working in luxury & commercial goods spaces. Strengths lie in trend analysis, branding, marketing strategy, image & video creation and team leadership. I have had the privilege to work in various areas of the fashion business
internationally. In the past 9 years I have grown into an e-commerce expert using my experienced high fashion editorial eye & combining it with commercial sensibility and understanding of how customers shop based on research.
I have become known for my ability to upskill teams in image creation and have a proven track record of improving efficiency.
One thing has remained a constant throughout my career. combining problem solving & creativity to make the impossible, possible.
In my most recent role I was incredibly proud to build a creative studio from the ground up. Establishing an elevated brand image, creating brand avatars and signature image style, leading marketing strategy, copy & website design teams for Firusas which didn't go unnoticed by Brands or consumers, as seen in the growth we saw in just under a year. Unfortunately, Firusas, which was owned and operated by a Russian family with a majority of the staff being from or based in the Ukraine, our work was cut short due to the war with Russia harshly affecting the company.
I look forward to continuing to learn and evolve in my next role and to explore incorporating AI capabilities in image creation as I see great potential in this area for growth.
