Maggie's Farm Boutique

• Dunfermline, Scotland

• Website and Online Sales Manager

  • May 2013 - Feb 2015

  Maggie's Farm is an award-winning, trend-setting fashion boutique with a cult following. With it's first boutique in Dundee firmly established as one of the city's favourite shopping destinations, we opened a second boutique in Dunfermline in November 2012 and have since developed the store to include a hair salon and beauty parlour. My role as Website and Online Sales Manager involved the complete set up and launch of maggiesfarmboutique.com. I took the project from concept stage through the design and build to the launch, plus setting up office and warehouse space, putting all stock systems and logistics in place, leading photography, graphics and marketing for the project. I worked on an iMac with programs such as Parallels, Linnworks, Photoshop and WooCommerce. After the site launch in December 2014, I trained up a team to take over the running of the site, while I focused on the creative development and marketing of the overall brand with the Managing Director. I continued to schedule and assist with the creative direction of our photoshoots, plus had control of all image edits and creating all graphics. I also secured high profile collaborations for the brand, including NYC blogger Lua Perez of Le Happy. Show less

Running Glitter & Trauma involved design work, garment production, marketing, continually organising promotional photo shoots, as well as business management and book keeping.

Horsecross Arts Limited

Rock the Catwalk

• Perth, United Kingdom

• Owner, Director, Project Manager

  • Feb 2007 - Mar 2010

  By far my biggest undertaking, I ran my own large scale fundraising concert for four consecutive years at Perth Concert Hall. The event incorporated live bands, models and dancers, all carefully programmed to create an impressive spectacle. Year after year, every song, every band and every model were specially selected and put together to create 'Rock the Catwalk', and event with a unique and recognisable format which grew to be a locally renowned event. I undertook the project alone, running all aspects including production design, management, budgeting, marketing, choreography, event design and volunteer management. The event grew to be a much anticipated and sold out annual event, with over 100 volunteers and participants each year and raising over £50,000 for charity - funds which stayed in Scotland benefitting the local branches of CLIC Sargent and Help for Heroes.
