With over 10 years’ experience in the retail industry, I have been lucky enough to receive my training at one of South Africa’s leading fashion retailers, Truworths Ltd, and to work for some of the largest retail groups in the UK, including the Signet Group, Argos and ijustloveit.co.uk (ex gonedigging.co.uk).
Since returning to South Africa, I launched my online retail business sourcing locally designed and manufactured designer goods (www.utique.co.za), and a Virtual Assistant service (www.dailypa.co.za).
Highlights of my key strengths and skills include:
Fashion design - specifically CAD drawing and tech packs for manufacture.
Selecting and buying a wide range of merchandise categories including apparel, childrenswear, jewellery, accessories and gifting.
Competitor monitoring.
Building and maintaining profitable relationships with suppliers across the globe.
Demonstrating proficiency in a wide array of software programs, including Microsoft Office, social media channels, Wordpress and Woocommerce, MailChimp and Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
I have a friendly, professional demeanour and am a confident multi-tasker, allowing me to take on several responsibilities at once. I'm a quick learner and enthusiastic, I look forward to working with you!
