NTU COURSE PAGE INSTAGRAM SHOWREEL Welcome to our School of Art and Design’s 2021 Showcase. As Dean of School, I am proud to present this work to you that evidenc- es the creativity, intelligence, awareness and resilience of our class of 2021.

Michael Marsden Executive Dean, School of Art & Design ABI GRIZZLE BA (H) FASHION MANAGEMENT Hi, my name is Abi and I have recently graduated from Fashion Management at NTU. I have experience in dressmaking, retail, hospitality, and brand ambassador experience. As I am an extremely social person, I have high social skills which I have put to good use as a Social Secretary and Wellbeing officer for hip hop dance society Funky Fresh Collective. This role was great as I got to speak to potential sponsors and create a friendly atmosphere within the society! Creativity, adaptability, and honesty are traits I pride myself on alongside my sociability, and I am looking forward to putting my skills to use in my future dream to be an entrepreneur!

My interests are reading, especially fashion magazines, as these are what inspired me to become to peruse a career in fashion from a young age. I have completed a year in industry where I was hands on within busy SME marketing departments, working on improving sales through brand awareness, improving website optimisation, and creating content for social media and e-commerce use. I have also worked on the shop floor of a busy retailer which allowed me to understand visual merchandising and buying behaviour. My future plans are to complete a Msc in Advertising & Marketing Communications at NTU and hopefully set up my own marketing agency where I can aid retailers with their marketing goals.

I completed a placement year at bespoke shirtmaker Emma Willis. This ignited my passion for working in the luxury industry and store management. My dissertation was the project I enjoyed the most, investigating how independent luxury businesses in the UK are responding to the changes of digitalisation within the fashion industry. It was a fantastic opportunity to research and write about an aspect of the industry that I am very passionate about. It also gave me an opportunity to contribute my own ideas, reflecting the knowledge I have built up over my time on the course, such as creating my own business model for brands to follow. Having also had the opportunity to complete creative studies in Chengdu in China during my time at university, it has inspired me to be open and excited by the idea of working globally. I aspire to develop a career in store management as I am motivated by working close to the product and customers.

These have been invaluable. My favourite was my dissertation which I wrote about ‘Online Persuasion and How Web Design Optimises Sales Online.’ This was sparked through my placement in Belgium at VF Corporation, Eastpak, working in E-commerce. Digital has accelerated faster than anyone could have anticipated therefore, it has been fascinating to see the changes and how fashion consumers are responding. Additionally, I completed the Digital Marketing Academy and a Web Design course to support my studies. I have been awarded the Gwyn Stevenson Award and was the highest achieving graduate on Fashion Management Sandwich route. I have also secured a 12-month internship with Puma working in marketing in London. Puma has always been a company I have wanted to work for, therefore cannot thank the tutors enough.

During my studies, I developed a real passion for trend research and understanding consumer behaviour, and I love spending my time on WGSN, Mintel, Pinterest and other social media sites to anticipate upcoming trends. One of my favourite projects I have worked on involved developing a new fashion app which allowed me to utilise both my creativity and analytical skills, which I found super enjoyable. In my third year of studies, I undertook a placement year at The Walt Disney Company where I was their Sportswear, Footwear and Accessories Intern. Throughout the year, I worked across a variety of different projects and collaborations between Disney and global fashion licences with one of my favourite being an influencer marketing campaign where I was responsible for sourcing samples for influencers across Europe to wear on a trip to Disneyland Paris and analysing the results of the campaign. I recently started as a Graduate Buyer at BuyItDirect in Huddersfield.

I have learnt so much and it has all been relevant: from working and negotiating with my peers on group projects, working under time and pressure constraints, building confidence for the numerous presentations, forming relationships with course tutors, and working on Live Projects with Farfetch, Boden and John Lewis - and yet, enjoying my time as a student and taking advantage of the Nottingham student scene to the fullest! I was a project manager for the NTU Horizons FashFest 2021, Student Course Ambassador and Mentor and a Fashion Revolution Rep and I am a recipient of the Glyn Davidson TA Award and have been a Young Creative Award finalist. I have completed work experience with Primark, Asda George and Next. My next step is the Next Trainee Buyers Programme which I am due to start soon and from there, ‘there are no limits’ ...
