As a teenager I was was spotted by a model agent while working in a restaurant to pay for Art School. Soon I was travelling the world and living in Paris, Milan, Tokyo and New York and making my way in the world of fashion working for some of the most prestigious clients and appearing in Italian and German editions of Vogue, French Elle and Marie Claire.
