I’m a creative with a background in visual culture, advertising and hands on artistic practice, currently completing a Masters in Creative Direction for Fashion. My work sits at the intersection of creative content, strategy and brand storytelling, shaped by years as a professional tattoo artist, translating identity, emotion, and narrative into visual form, as well as, building very strong client relationships. With a Bachelor’s in Creative Industries (Creative Advertising major, Visual Communication minor), I bring a strategic mindset to creative execution, from concept development to visual language and audience engagement. I’m particularly drawn to fashion and culturally-driven brands, and I’m currently seeking junior opportunities in editorial and marketing, or related fields. Interests include fashion imagery, subculture, art direction, editorial storytelling, and experimental creative projects.
