Chloe Ridgway

Creative, driven, and highly organised, I bring a strong passion for the creative industry. With a background in supportive environments, I've developed a talent for planning, refining, and ensuring projects run seamlessly from concept to completion, skills I now apply to content creation, social media, and digital marketing. My experience in photography, visual storytelling, and branding has fuelled my transition into creative marketing, where I thrive on producing engaging content that connects with audiences and reflects a brand's identity.

I'm confident using tools like Adobe Creative Suite, managing social platforms, and contributing to campaigns that are both strategic and impactful. I'm now seeking a role where I can grow within a creative team, bring fresh perspectives, and contribute meaningfully to innovative projects that inspire and connect.
