What I'm looking for

I'm seeking client-facing opportunities that challenge and evolve me professionally, where I can apply fashion styling, personal shopping, editorial, and luxury customer-service experience with high-ticket clients and corporations.

At Selfridges, I prepare and style products, models, sportswear, and still-life pieces for the website while maintaining visual consistency across high-volume studio shoots. I collaborate with photographers, freelancers, product handlers, sales associates, and creative teams to improve styling and deliver polished imagery.

Alongside freelance editorial and personal styling, I’ve produced 18 editorial photoshoots, magazine features including a front cover, and fashion content for my portfolio and Instagram. I source looks, build mood boards, coordinate creative collaborators, and provide bespoke wardrobe, shopping, and styling support for clients.
