• Claremont Quarter stylist/personal shopper - Since 2019 I have worked with Claremont Quarter to be the in house stylist. Clients book me direct for personal shopping, I host seasonal launch events and runways, write monthly blogs for the CQ website, MC events for new store openings.
• Over the last 2 years I have worked with leading production companies as a stylist on photo shoots and TVC (Television Commercials). From dressing models, creating moodboards for set design, buying props & understanding client briefs.
• Over the last 2 years I have worked with Furniture Bazaar, a Perth based furniture company. Styling the images for their website and online store. This included sourcing decor items, linen, florals and art for each room to be dressed and photographed. Most recently, I worked on their Joondalup store to give it a "glow up". They wanted the store to feel modern and be in line with their competitors visually when you enter the store. I worked with wholesalers to find decor items, linen, lighting, rugs and art within a set budget. These items were then placed in store, to give each "room" a contemporary feel.
• Styled campaign photoshoots for: Bedshed, STM, Pan Pacific Hotel, Rendezvous Hotel, Parmelia Hilton Hotel and Claremont Quarter "Style fit" magazine.

Myself and two partners started Hood Studio. We wanted to create a small boutique studio to hire out to photographers and fashion brands as a showing space. In that time we had great success, as we were one of the very few spaces in a central Perth location. I made many great working relationships and repeat business. I handled the bookings, invoicing and was also involved in the social media marketing.

My role at Elle was all encompassing, which enabled me to be a successful buyer. I was on the shop floor selling to clients, unpacking and writing up stock, merchandising windows, organising events, and every other small job that is needed in a small team.

• I worked extremely closely with the owner of the boutique, Wendy Marshall. We worked together on budgets before each seasons trip, work out what gaps needed to be filled and what new brands to see. I would then organise the travel schedule and book the appointments for each brand. Wendy trusted my instincts and allowed me to bring in new brands to continue to be Perth's leading international boutique.
• Working on the shop floor selling allowed me to build one on one trusting relation ships with clients, know what was working or not working, know the fit of items and brands and able to find gaps in our offering.
• When buying, I would take my knowledge from the shop floor with me. It would help guide me, and I would think of certain clients to buy specifically for, know which gaps to fill, understand brands better with client feedback I had received. It enabled me to buy more specifically for the Elle client, knowing what they liked, disliked or what they might be excited for with something new.
• I was able to plan and execute many large events. Taking on the role as Creative Director from the yearly spring summer launch events that took place instore, bridal trunkshows, exclusive collaborations with the likes of Fairfax & Roberts jewellery, to the large Satterley and Telethon charity parties.
