Personal statement

An energetic, self-motivated and hard-working individual who thrives in new challenges and high-pressured environments. With previous experience working under pressure and the ability to multi-task, is done so with maturity and professionalism. I am strongly passionate about personal style influenced by street style on Instagram, as well as all things lilac. 

My current work at University encapsulates an eco-conscious idea, creating garments out of upcycled boat sails, and working with stretch Lycra. This contrast in fabrics has given me an even larger knowledge of fabrics and has sparked a passion for stretch wear. 

I have gained a lot of skills throughout my time working and at university, which include, but aren’t limited to, Machine sewing, hand sewing, illustrator and photoshop. It has also encouraged me to be highly organised, building on a strong skill of mine already. 

I am currently employed as a seamstress at a bespoke bridal company called Lucy Can’t Dance. This has enabled me to perfect my skills as a seamstress, and really push myself in a supportive and creative environment. I also have previous experience in retail as a shop assistant in Next. This gave me skills in merchandising, organising fellow colleagues, and working with money. I also will be achieving a degree in BA (Hons) Fashion and Textiles from University Centre Colchester.
