A bon vivant, I have pursued the road less travelled in my chosen career and my abodes. I grew up sailing around the Mediterranean Islands and Northern Africa for twelve years with my parents. This Bohemian way of life allowed me to develop into a masterful communicator speaking five languages, they are in order of fluency English, Italian, Spanish, French and Maltese. Craving congestion, people and artistic inspiration I lived in metropolis cities from London, New York, San Francisco to the place I now call home, Los Angeles.
I studied Foundation of Fine Art at Chelsea Art and Design in London and completed my Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Marketing with honours from AIU London, UK. I have submerged myself in media (new and traditional) this is reflected when I worked for MTV Networks in Ad Sales and Marketing Evolution in Online Marketing Research. At ME I would determine the effectiveness of an Ad spend across all media platforms using A/B testing and weekly sampling through survey writing and cross media optimization for accounts such as WB, Colgate Oxygen UK, VW Jetta ’05, Wal-Mart and Procter & Gamble.
Determined to garner experience in my degree I moved to New York where I worked as a Men’s Personal Shopper for Barneys NY and sub-sequentially I gained entry into the apparel and accessories world working in various capacities for wholesalers in NY and LA such as Language Los Angeles, 1928 Jewellery Company, Grand Apparels Inc, and Bony Levy. I assumed an approach that no job was too big or small and submerged myself in every facet of the wholesale business from online e-commerce development, graphic design, art direction, EDI and data entry, account management, inventory and logistics and pre- and post-production. No responsibility is considered beneath or above the task at hand, and only meeting the deadline matters. These various yet complimentary industries enable me to have a unique and advantageous approach. I am passionate about finding the niche that withstands today’s saturated attention deficit market.
