What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my creativity and organizational skills in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for growth and learning.

My name is Tamsy, an outgoing and driven individual with a rich background in fashion merchandising and event coordination. Born in America and raised in South Africa, I have cultivated a diverse skill set that includes wardrobe styling, project management, and social media management. My journey has led me to work with various designers and brands, where I have honed my abilities in art direction and procurement.

Throughout my career, I have taken on roles that challenge my creativity and adaptability. As a freelance wardrobe stylist, I have collaborated with designers for editorials and music videos, ensuring that every detail aligns with the artistic vision. My experience as a marketing assistant has equipped me with the tools to manage social media platforms effectively and engage audiences through compelling content. I am passionate about continuous learning and always seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in the fashion and marketing industries.
