About
After a successful career spanning over 12 years in Visual Merchandising, Interiors Styling for magazines, working on photo shoots and working with high end Interior Designers and Architects, I wanted to transfer these skills into working in the film industry, with a particular interest in working in the Art Department and HETV.
I have recently worked as a Set Design Assistant for a TV Shopping channel allowing me to experience working on a live set, sourcing, making and decorating props, dressing and striking sets.
I am in my early stages of career within the Art Department, and my aspiration is to gain professional experience in major film productions and HETV.
I am very organised in project management and logistics and my experience in other departments has given me a comprehensive understanding of departmental procedures, working on set, a sense of urgency and the different levels of pressure. I am very adaptable and have excellent problem solving skills.
I am an outgoing person, which makes me a great communicator and have developed sound relationships with colleagues and suppliers.
I am capable of working in teams of varying size as well as covering independent work and research and my passion for increasing my knowledge in relevant software and partaking in additional training programmes supports me in adapting.
I apply a practical approach to all projects and have excellent time management skills as well as a proactive nature. I also have experience of handling petty cash, budgeting for projects and working long and unsociable hours.
