Summary

With over 10 years of experience as a Fashion Stylist and Visual Merchandiser, I bring a strong editorial and creative background to any fashion-focused team.

As the former Senior Fashion Editor at V Magazine & VMAN in New York, I led the fashion department, managed a team, and styled editorial content.

Prior to that, I was the founding Fashion Stylist at Vogue Singapore, where I played a key role in shaping the magazine’s visual identity, and directed fashion projects across print and digital platforms.

In addition to styling, I have over 7 years of experience as a Visual Merchandiser for luxury fashion boutiques including Marc Jacobs, Ambush, and V Ave Shoe Repair, where I developed and executed compelling visual identities through impactful window and mannequin displays.
