BA (HONS)-Fashion Marketing and Retail Design
September 2017 - June 2020
In my final year in university, I looked at the customer experience in retail stores and how the high street grabs the attention of their consumers. I looked at all the different aspects of the field such as marketing, promotion and especially Visual merchandising. Whilst completing this degree I have looked at many different bodies of work such as Creating a lookbook, creating a social media calendar, Marketing plans, Range plans and plenty of research books. I also created a business that would help the retail high street.

Throughout my education, I have learned a lot of skills that can help me in the Fashion industry. One of the main skills that I have learned is how to use the adobe creative suite. Over the three years, I have confidently learned how to use Indesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I have used Premium Pro but don't feel confident making a professional video.
I have also used Google Sketch with I love using and used it throughout my university experience.
I have also had a few lessons in fashion photography which I enjoy. I feel like the photo I take is professional and high quality.
