What Am I Looking For

I’m seeking an opportunity that allows me to expand on my creative strengths, take on new challenges, and thrive in a dynamic, people-focused environment. With a deep love for design, style, and storytelling, I’m driven by innovation, connection, and the chance to contribute meaningfully to a team’s success.

I value growth — both personal and collective — and am energised by roles that allow me to collaborate closely, think differently, and bring joy to the everyday. Ultimately, I’m looking for a role where I can build on what I love, work with passionate people, and have fun along the way — because life’s too short not to.

Core Capabilities

  • Conceptual thinker.
  • Forecasting designs, styles and trends.
  • Excellent communication and networking skills.
  • Ability to earn trust easily.
  • Confident with key decision makers, knowing the points of difference in products and services.
  • Working best autonomously, in close knit teams, one-to-one relationships and contributing to a team’s success.
