creative marketing & brand strategy for fashion industry
About

My passion for both the art of creativity and the world of business has always been a driving force in my life, which motivated me to pursue my bachelor’s degree in Fashion Business at ESMOD University in Paris. I received a Highly Commended Honours degree in November 2021 with the title Director of Commercial Strategy: Head of Marketing and Communications in the Fashion Industry. With valuable industry experience, and a strong understanding of fashion marketing and communications, I am excited to showcase my expertise to provide creative and strategic insights. My background and skills allow me to bring innovative ideas to life, combining my analytical mindset with a keen eye for contemporary aesthetics.
