Since gaining First Class Honours in Fine Art I have been carving out a creative career encompassing my loves of fashion,music,film and art.
I have completed placements within the fashion teams of Eve, Glamour, ELLE, First and Vogue, and worked on shoots as a stylist assistant at Easy Living,125 and NME. I explored combining my passion for art with fashion, spending time at Alexander McQueen in the role of an artwork assistant, during the evolution of his A/W 08/09 collection. One of my illustrations returned in the form of a dress (look 55) for his final A/W pre collection and was worn by Cate Blanchett on the red carpet in Cannes.
I am currently working as a freelance Music/Fashion Journalist. I have written pieces for The Guardian, Businesselle, Stylebible(Celebrity interviewer), Disappear Here, Amelias, Guestlist, Elmbridge, Edge, WhisperMag, Gunpowder, Sketchbook and Open Magazine ( permanent Fashion Police blogger and music reporter). I also spent time as the Reviews Editor of Bringthenoiseuk.com, interviewing bands including Young Guns, Eighties Matchbox B line Disaster, Ian Watkins,My Passion, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Fightstar, The Like, and Cobra Starship, also reviewing gigs, singles and albums.
In 2010 I worked on an exciting extreme sports and music TV Show called ‘Whatever It Takes, http://www.whateverittakestv.com/‘I joined fellow hosts, Matt Sharland, frontman Idiom, and Total Rock DJ Kelly D. Our aim was to give an insight into the lengths people go to to pursue their careers and passions….. Our first episode was filmed at Nass and we were lucky to interview many of the pro riders and skaters as well as Bowling for Soup, Hadouken, Young Guns, Sean Smith, General Fiasco, Failsafe, Exit Ten, Arusha Accord and The Ghost of a Thousand. We went on to film with Tony Hawk and friends, Red Bull X fighters and plethora of bands throughout the rest of the festival season. Follow the team on twitter… http://twitter.com/#!/WIT_TV
