What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a creative environment that fosters collaboration and innovation, allowing me to leverage my managerial skills and passion for fashion.

I am a creative professional with a heightened sense of stewardship and a strong ability to collaborate effectively within teams. My experience as a Studio Manager has honed my skills in communication, project management, and creative direction, allowing me to lead teams in executing successful photoshoots and managing studio operations. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to adapt to changing priorities while maintaining high standards of quality.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed various teams, overseeing everything from inventory to content production. My role at Elements 9 for Shopper's Stop has allowed me to bridge communication between the studio team and brands, ensuring smooth operations and cost-effective functioning. I have a proven track record in business development and sales, which has enabled me to expand client bases and maintain strong relationships with stakeholders.

With a Master's in Marketing Management and a background in Fashion Design, I bring a unique blend of creativity and strategic thinking to my work. I am passionate about contributing to the progress of my organization while continuously improving my skill set and embracing new challenges in the fashion industry.
