Inspiration; ideas to develop my career in sustainable fashion

About me / About business or organisation:

I am inspired by success stories, where companies have changed their ways of operating to become more sustainable, and they have also benefitted financially. I believe that too many companies see being environmentally friendly as a cost, and with more and more examples proving the opposite spreading, sustainable business can expand at a much faster rate. I really hope I can be part of this transition as a career.

Career history / Company history:

I have completed a BSc degree in environmental economics and management, and am currently studying towards a Masters in environmental policy. My specific interest lies in the interaction between industry and the environment, in particular the fashion industry. My undergraduate dissertation focused on the negative impacts of the cotton supply chain. I have also been involved with fashion as a photography editor for a student art-fashion-travel magazine.
