Summary

Fashion Business Management graduate and founder of independent brand “Parismo”, with 4+ years’ experience across retail, digital marketing, brand management, and content creation. Skilled at building engaged communities, producing ideas that drive growth, and delivering projects from concept to real life. I have grown a deep understanding of what Gen Z want and why they want it. Since I first subscribed to Complex in 2015, I have surrounded myself with fashion and music, working hard from an early age in multiple jobs to satisfy my desire to be that guy who was wearing the stuff that no one had, driving my decision to create my own style and set up my own brand.

University

My final university project was an enterprise project into micro-influencer management with my theoretical business, Johnny Morison. This piece of work shows much evidence of the potential skills I can offer your business, which scored a 68 (2 points under a 1st). I really enjoyed researching and creating a business in this field of marketing. Influencer marketing is something I believe to be well versed in. If you are interested View project here
