Show profile Hide profileI have eight years of experience in styling, publishing and communication. Publishing trained me to perform under immense pressure and meet strict deadlines; it also taught me about teamwork and effective communication. Time management was of the essence; and clear and efficient communication essential, especially when organising weekly fashion shoots. If one division was not in place the whole operation could fall apart. Booking a model, make-up and hair, organising a photographer, sourcing a location and also wardrobe was a balancing act I learnt to perfect.
My strongest attribute would have to be the styling of beauty and fashion products. I enjoy working with different colours and textures; and discovering the perfect arrangement to make all the products shine. As a beauty and fashion writer I had to not only consider my point of view but also that of the reader. Finding the perfect arrangement or layout that would entertain the reader while also highlighting selected products, was the challenge I enjoyed the most.
During my time as a publicist I developed skills for event coordination, media relations, compiling international press releases, strategic planning and crisis communications. I also had to manage social media accounts for many clients, across a variety of sectors. Lifestyle, entertainment and fashion were some of the fields I specialised in.
