Clothes have been my passion ever since I was a child, so it came as no surprise to my family when I decided on a career in the fashion .
While I was studying fashion design at university, I worked nights in a factory that toothbrushes.
This certainly wasn't my dream job, so when a friend told me that a popular clothing was opening a new in our town, I immediately stopped by to ask if they were taking on .
Luckily, they were, and I got a job as a sales assistant. I enjoyed working there so much that I decided to stay on even after I graduated.
Last year, the of the company visited my store, and we started chatting.
He told me he was interested in the business and introducing a line of footwear.
When I told him I had a degree in fashion design, he asked me if I'd be interested in designing women's shoes for the company.
Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity, and I've been working in the head office as chief footwear designer ever since. My hard work has paid off, and when we our first line of heels last month, it was a great success.
I still dream of becoming a young and my own clothing company one day, but for now, I'm very happy designing great shoes and learning more about the industry.
