What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters creativity and strategic thinking in fashion retail.

I am a detail-oriented professional with a strong passion for the fast-paced fashion industry. My experience as an Allocator and Merchandising Assistant at Derek Rose has honed my analytical skills, where I contributed to OTB planning and managed size ratios for future buying strategies. I have a proven track record of preparing daily trading reports, analyzing metrics, and supporting decision-making processes, particularly in womenswear.

My previous role as an Operator of an Online Shop at Season's Border allowed me to drive significant revenue growth through SEO optimization and social media engagement. I successfully managed diverse operational tasks, showcasing my versatility and efficiency in a dynamic environment. Additionally, my collaboration with media influencers at Shinsegae International resulted in a 30% increase in seasonal sales, demonstrating my ability to enhance brand visibility and engagement.
