Born in Geneva, Switzerland, where I lived until the age of five, I grew up in a bilingual environment and speak both French and English fluently. This multicultural background has shaped my appreciation for diversity and global perspectives, which I bring into my work and personal interests. Combining my love for fashion with my creative pursuits, I am dedicated to exploring innovative ways to connect with others through style, imagery, and storytelling.”

My vision is to build a successful career in the fashion industry, ideally orking with a globally renowned luxury brand where I can combine my eative talents with strategic brand management. I aspire to contribute to he development of innovative campaigns and brand strategies that reflect he identity and heritage of high-end fashion houses. Beyond this, my ream is to live and work abroad, immersing myself in the vibrant fashion enes of Europe, where I can draw inspiration from diverse cultures while aping the future of the international luxury fashion market.’’

“My mission is to secure a role within the fashion industry that allows me to gain valuable experience and lay the foundation for a long-term career. I am committed to working hard, even if it means starting from the ground up, as I understand the importance of growth and perseverance in achieving my goals. Along the way, I aim to meet like-minded individuals, form meaningful connections, and learn from industry professionals who can inspire and guide me as I navigate my path toward becoming a stylist for a luxury brand.”

PERSONAL SKILLS

‘’With a dynamic skill set spanning fashion styling, photography, storytelling, social media, and customer service, I bring creativity and professionalism to every project. My expertise in fashion styling allows me to curate visually compelling looks that align with current trends and individual aesthetics. With photography and my modeling experience, I understand both sides of the camera, enabling me to capture striking visuals and bring creative visions to life. Proficient in social media, I excel at crafting engaging content and building strong online connections. Additionally, my customer service background has honed my communication and interpersonal skills, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for clients and collaborators alike’’.

STYLING

‘’One of my key skills is fashion styling, a discipline I developed during my time at university, where I gained hands-on experience bringing creative concepts to life. Each project required me to conceptualize and execute a final fashion campaign that effectively represented my ideas and the overarching theme of the assignment. This involved carefully selecting and styling models to reflect the vision of the project, ensuring that every detail —from clothing and accessories to hair and makeup—aligned with the campaign’s narrative. The process culminated in preparing my models for professional fashion shoots, where I collaborated closely with photographers to capture striking visuals that embodied my creative direction. This experience sharpened my eye for detail, strengthened my ability to work under pressure, and deepened my passion for storytelling through fashion’’.

PHOTOGRPAHY

‘‘Photography is another key skill of mine, one that I began developing during my A-levels, where I learned how to properly use a camera and explore its creative potential. This early education ignited a passion that I’ve carried with me ever since, capturing images almost daily to refine my craft and experiment with different styles. During my time at university, I was able to integrate this skill into my projects, particularly in capturing compelling fashion imagery that brought my concepts to life. I approach photography with precision and a strong eye for detail, ensuring that every shot aligns with my creative vision while effectively telling a story. This passion has not only shaped my artistic perspective but has also strengthened my technical expertise behind the camera ’’ .

STORYTELLING

‘‘Storytelling is one of my key skills, which I honed during my university studies in Fashion Communication, Marketing, and Social Media. This skill was crucial to my success, as it enabled me to convey meaningful narratives through my fashion imagery, particularly during my final project. For this project, I created an image that truly reflected who I am as a person and showcased my unique aesthetic. Through the use of thoughtful styling, carefully chosen backgrounds, and cohesive overall looks, I brought my vision to life in a way that felt authentic and personal. To support my creative process, I also created croquis and moodboards to visually map out my ideas and ensure the final outcome aligned with my narrative. Additionally, I articulated this vision through written work, explaining how each element of the image was intentionally designed to represent me and tell my story. This experience not only strengthened my storytelling abilities but also underscored the importance of combining visual and written communication to create impactful work’’.

SOCIAL MEDIA

‘‘Social media is one of my strongest skills, as it allows me to combine my creativity and passion for connecting with others. I have always loved using platforms like Instagram to showcase my photographs and aesthetic, curating a feed that reflects my love for fashion, photography, and travel. Additionally, I am an avid user of TikTok, where I engage with my followers and attract new audiences through authentic and relatable content. My focus on creating visually appealing posts and videos centered around my favorite topics has helped me build an online presence that feels personal and inspiring. Social media has become a key outlet for me to share my creative vision while connecting with like-minded individuals and fostering a community around the things I enjoy the most’’.

TIK TOK

“TikTok is my most-used social media platform, where I love creating and sharing engaging content, and I’m proud to have reached an impressive 1.3 million likes.”
