Where you are/who might influence that? At present I am in my second year of University studying for an Fda in Fashion.

How you got here (placement) I took Art & Textiles at GCSE level and gained an A and A* within these subjects, I then worked in the retail industry for a few years in London at Selfridges & co to gain life experiences. I later returned to Bournemouth and took a one year access course in Art & Design which gave me access in to my FDA Fashion Degree. I have completed various placements along the way including On/Off (London Fashion Week) and a placement at 1927 London which is a showroom where they carry brands such as Juicy Couture and 2812.

How will you approach this year?

This year I plan to be more organised and keep better time keeping, I hope to improve on my project outcomes and perfect my skills with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

Where you want to go next, and how you might 'package' yourself.

I'm unsure as to whether to do the third year top yet, as I would love to be ready for industry. I feel I have some valuable skills and experience and I would love to go in to womenswear Buying. I would gain some work experience within this field and then hopefully gain a job and work myself up the ladder!! I would package myself as a determined and passionate graduate looking for a womenswear buying position.

Where it might take you.

Once I gain a few years of experience within a Buying position I would hope to go on to working for a bigger company such as Harrods or Selfridges. I would love to be a Womenswear buyer for either of these!!

Who/what might influence your choices now and in the future?

I guess my family may influence my decisions but they usually support me with anything I wish to do as long as they feel it is the right decision, and my boyfriend want's to work in London also so I think it will work out perfectly, hopefully!
