About me / About business or organisation:

I am currently undertaking research for my own fashion brand for which my main priority is to source ethically. Another key part of my brand will be that we are 'not just for profit' and a lot of my time will be spent using fashion to contribute to charitable causes. The brand personality is inspired by street style, travelling and philanthropy. I am working alongside my friend, Rachel, who helped develop the concept and in our first year we would like to contribute to a small village in Ghana where Rachel spent 6 months building a school. We would like to use British manufacturers because we are passionate about sustaining the economy in the UK as well as our efforts to improve lives in Africa.

I am working for serial entrepreneurs from whom I am gaining valuable business advice and will help mentor my business
