What I'm looking for

Based in Cape Town, South Africa and holding EU citizenship, I'm looking for a permanent or semi-permanent remote role in fashion, e-commerce, or creative coordination. I bring experience in styling, visual merchandising, product management, and supplier communication, and I work well independently within international, async teams.

I’m a detail-oriented coordinator and visual merchandiser with experience across e-commerce production, product management, and brand-aligned styling. I’m comfortable working independently and remotely, and I thrive on async, cross-timezone collaboration.

In visual roles at Zara Home, I developed and executed in-store visual concepts aligned with brand guidelines, using sales reports and business data to propose product rotations and floor strategies that improved commercial results. I also managed end-to-end product flow from delivery to display and trained teams on visual standards, sales techniques, and customer care.

As an Intern Product Manager at OceanSapart, I coordinated across product managers, buyers, developers, designers, and inbound teams throughout the full product lifecycle. I served as a main supplier point of contact, managed order placements and sample shooting, and maintained styles, fits, articles, POs, and collections in ERP systems while tracking KPIs and critical paths in Excel and Google Suite.

From styling assistant work supporting shoots for The Foschini Group, I’ve built strong strengths in pre-shoot preparation, SKU sheets, image tracking, and asset/sample management—ensuring smooth production flow with zero missing product. My professional approach blends visual execution with operational rigor and clear communication.
