Summary

I have always been a creative person since I was young. I attended Hamilton Boys High School a excellent school which teaches you leadership, self motivation, discipline and communication social skills. I took my knowledge and talents from school to Victoria university in Wellington where I study Fashion design and marketing. My degree has a wide variety of papers and learnings. I have learnt aspects of design from graphics to detailed sewing techniques. Since 2020 I have created multiple collections for my brand Ryders Storm. Everything is made by myself with the help of mother in the early years of the brand. A large focus of my recent work has been based around sustainability and conscious consumption where the main message is fighting against fast fashion trends. I believe I am a talented creative director proficient in business operations, communication, problem solving and detail oriented managing. I also am eager to adapt and change to issues which the world deals with for example fast fashion.
