8. One of many examples of my Trend Forecast…
I presented my ideas
through colour,
visuals and
creating colour
palettes-these are
a mixture of
Catwalk images from WGSN
- London/NYC/Milan.
9. My research
and ideas were
always
constant at
Carrie Me – I
always
checked
Websites,
Forums, Blogs
etc to see what
styles/colours
textures and
designers were
emerging on
the catwalks –
this inspired
me in coming
up with new
concepts for
the Carrie Me
brand.
10. Here are a few bits of the work I did at EDITD: A lot
of it was creative Text and Catwalk Tagging..

13. “I am a hard working individual with an
appetite to succeed. My life and experiences
have made me the person I am today – switched
on, motivated and hard working.
The world we live in is always changing, I
like to re-invent myself .
I flourish in roles that are creative, where I can
explore aesthetics and be visual with my ideas.
I never went down the same route as
‘everybody else’ – I guess I am different.
I take risks, enjoy challenges, thrive on success,
but also learn from my mistakes.
A meticulous approach and attention to detail,
mean when a job is finished, it is to the highest
of standards”
