This is my last official week working on Second Skin however I will continue working with Jill on bringing out another release of Muceum throughout December and January.
I will carry everything I’ve learnt these past three months with me for the rest of my career and plan to use my new skills to help me with my goal on creating campaigns that encourage positive behaviour and help consumers develop healthier, more sustainable relationships with fashion.
