About

I am all things trend lover, with a desire to have a impact in the fashion industry with an extensive retail background specialising in fashion working for brands like Betts Group in Australia and Diesel, Tiger of Sweden, and Red Bull Merchandise in South Africa in roles ranging from in store sales, merchandising, buying and planing locally and attending international sales conferences, product management, advertising, editorial implementation etc. In the non fashion retail segment I have worked for Nikon and Highlot General Trading, in roles such as coordinating sales and orders, merchandising, creditors, sales analysis, management etc. To add immense value to my experience and passion for fashion I obtained a BA Degree in Fashion specializing in design, which gives me the extra know how and skills to add value to the commercial side of fashion.
