CURRICULUM VITAE
I am a highly creative individual with a range of experience to draw upon from both my degree and professional work but I am also eager to learn and expand my skills; I would readily accept any further training that would help me excel in the role and provide my full commitment to the company.
My small business has given me the knowledge of social media platforms and content creation based on the customers, using this and advertisements to drive traffic towards my website through the use of SEO.
I have also furthered my knowledge in Adobe Creative as I design my own social media graphics, promotional media, logo, and branding and do my own product photography as well as having created designs for clients. Having studied design as a part of my degree, I was also able to gain knowledge in Adobe Software for both design and layout.
Also, by working in theatre, film and TV, I have often worked alongside both the designer and director to meet the brief given to me for the initial design and final product.
I am also an experienced costumier having worked in theatre, ballet, television and other textiles environments. I have skills in costume design (digital and freehand), costume construction, and textiles - more specifically embroidery.
I graduated from the University of Huddersfield, with a First Class BA(Hons) in Costume With Textiles in 2019.
