In My Own Words
Hello! I am a Retail Merchandising and Business Management graduate pursuing a career that combines Design and Business. With my creative problem solving skills, detail-oriented mind, and can-do attitude, I am on the lookout for a new opportunity that will challenge me creatively. My current passions include design, fashion, sustainability, travel, and all things cutting edge. I am a diligent individual that strives to do the best I can in all aspects of my life. Being in a creative field, I find myself always pushing to be ahead of trends and on track with the industry at all times. My customer centric mindset, ambition to learn, and ability to lead combine creating a great background for the design industry. This past year, I took a new creative direction and have remodeled and redesigned the inside of my parent's home to obtain useful hard skills and knowledge about Interior and Visual Design.
