What I'm looking for

I am seeking a creative role that allows me to apply my design skills while contributing to a collaborative team environment.

I am a dedicated Textile Design student at Central Saint Martins, where I am honing my skills and creativity in the field. With a decade of diverse experience in retail, merchandising, and administrative roles, I have developed a strong foundation in customer service and operational efficiency. My journey has equipped me with the ability to liaise effectively between stakeholders, streamline workflows, and resolve issues promptly.

Throughout my career, I have held positions such as Insurance Analyst at Traxler & Tong, Inc., where I ensured compliance with industry standards while managing high volumes of data. My role as an Accessory Specialist at Forever 21 allowed me to enhance customer experiences through knowledgeable service and effective merchandising. Additionally, my time as a Merchandising Assistant at Aubergine Vintage Emporium taught me the importance of visual appeal in retail, as I designed compelling displays that drove sales and engagement.
