About

As a highly-motivated, creative, amiable and personable person, I work well within a multitude of positions. I am currently working as the Social Media Editor at JOSEPH. I graduated from Central Saint Martins with a Masters in Culture, Curation and Criticism and a BA in Fine Art. Whilst completing my studies of BA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design I developed TheVogueCIEL; online art, fashion, culture and lifestyle platform, of which I have designed, curated, edit and write for. The VogueCIEL is an eloquent manifestation of my zealous interest in fashion, culture, lifestyle, beauty, popular culture and society in general, and I believe it to be a fervent example of my proficiency. I am looking for a position that allows me to utilise all of my creative and professional skills; working with content holistically and strategically.
