Personal Statement Fashion Creative with an avid interest in all forms of communication and creativity. I would describe myself as being curious and innovative with a keen eye for detail. I am passionate about graphic design, art direction and trend forecasting. All of which I have put into practice while working on various different projects including visual merchandising sets, fragrance brand development and advertising photoshoots. Alongside studying for a degree in Fashion Communication and Promotion I enjoy spending my free time doing dance, photography and with family and friends.
