Studio Manager
About

I am a textiles design graduate with experience working within design teams for both high street and designer brands. My work has been exhibited at both Premier Vision Paris and the London Textiles fair (2018 & 2020). I can confidently use both Photoshop and Illustrator. I am also proficient in many hand processes such as screen printing, machine and hand sewing, and fabric dyeing. I am an extremely organised, diligent and motivated individual, with excellent time-management skills and I thrive in fast paced environments. I am looking for a role where I can learn to facilitate and innovate within a creative environment.
