Isabel Dempsey

I am a determined young person looking for a workplace in which I am able to offer my very best work ethic and communication skills. My hobbies include art sketching which opens me to creative ways of learning and solving problems; playing computer games in which help keep my mind active, and socialising with friends. I have had extensive amount of varied work experience across the field which allows me to be open for more areas of work.

After completing my Fashion and Design courses I would be interested in a future career involving these areas of work such as fashion, retail and interior designing.
