My creativity and love of drawing, imagining and creating inspired me to pursue a Baccalauréat in Visual Merchandising. It’s a diverse career and no two days are alike - I’ve worked on different projects, in different places and with different people, teaching me versatility and adaptability. Erasmus+ supported me to participate in Euroskills Gdańsk 2023, which helped me to gain visibility. Now I’ve been recognised as a Champion of Excellence in Visual Merchandising. It’s a pleasure and an honour, the reward and recognition of a lot of hard work and personal investment. I’d say to anyone, don’t be afraid or ashamed to follow a vocational path. In my experience the best way to learn about our profession and about ourselves is to try different things and see what we like best.
