CREATE YOUR OWN RULES

About Me

Beautiful, tiny, sunshine, watermelons, persian cat, quirky, stylish, ambitious, creative and very very modest.
I've worked in Public Relations, Business/Brand Development, Affiliation & Affinity Marketing, Advertising & Event Management. I achieved great success in Europe as a Marketing Conceptualist, my clients were some of the worlds richest companies/people i.e Ferrari, Microsoft, HSBC..VIP's.. I'm bound to confidentiality for most of these!..etc, etc. I worked very hard and made a lot of money for corporations and wealthy people... In 2007 I will apply my skills and knowledge to work with fresh new creative people & help them to shine a light of universal magnitude on their talents... I'll become more creative, I will help who I can, when I can and maintain a movement of positivity (what goes around comes around)... I'll continue to design jewels & build my brand Kouchic... i'll invest my money wisely... and then one day i'll buy a house in the South of France where I'll eat fine food, drink fine wine & live happily ever after in the sun... probably throwing fabulous parties for fabulous friends! but for now, I just wanna be the best I can be and continue my journey of life.... which this year is taking me to Los Angeles.
OK SO that's me.... come through and connect and then I'll get to know you... and perhaps we'll be great friends!?! ................................. ................................................... ............... ............................................. ............................................................ ....... ...Need to know more?... check out myspace below (please excuse the pun!.. just go ahead and read more...)

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor


I have a passion for all Art, having studied and worked within most media over the last decade from TV and Film through to Publishing and the Internet... I realise how important it is to have some element of creativity in every day of our lives.
My passion for art led me to Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design, where I learnt to make jewellery... I recently set up my own designer label Kouchic London... check it out: Hand Crafted 'One of Kind' jewels: www.kouchic.com


I have a keen interest in all fashion... past, present and future. So I set up an online boutique... Check it out... Vintage jewels & Accessories eboutique: www.v4vintage.com


As you will notice, my passion for business is also a big part of my life... I believe anything should be possible if you are willing to work for it... but the truth is, that I have seen people with soo much talent have doors shut in their face, that is why I work with real artists and innovators to help them pave their OWN road to success. Over the past decade, I have worked with all sorts of people in various fields providing bespoke Marketing, PR and Event consultancy services.


My latest and most exciting venture is one that I hope will have a lasting effect on UK industry. Along with two of my fellow art lovers... Samantha Hamilton and Rosita Lynch. We've set up LONDON ANGELS - A company that aims to build a Transatlantic bridge between the US and the UK creating a platform for artists to promote and export their work, furthermore allowing the world to understand and appreciate the raw creativity that has been born of the truelly diverse and multicultural influences of Cool UK.

I believe that there is a positive lesson in everything we experience, 'everything for a reason'... realise it, accept it and use it to channel all energies to a positive result.

My Interests

Film, Fashion, Music, Art, Business, Innovations and all things Creative... I also enjoy speaking with interesting and quirky people.

I also love to shake my tailfeather once in a while.

I'd like to meet:

Creative, Skillful, Intelligent, Spiritual, Caring, Sharing, Ambitious (not arrogant!), Interesting, Weird, Strange, Genius, Aware, Informative, Unique, Sexy and a number of other people, but most of them have passed away.

Music:

I enjoy listening to all types from rock to rap, Soul to House... I have lots of musical friends, so often listen to their stuff... make sure you check out: www.myspace.com/RositaLynch


This is Rosita's music playing now...



If my life had a sound track then I reckon it would be an eclectic mix that would include: Nat King Cole, The Four Tops, Shirly Bassey, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bob Marley, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, PRINCE (my fav.), Bjork, Soul II Soul, Sade, Loose Ends, de la soul, Sting, U2, Guns and Roses, Eurythmics, Boys 2 Men, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Brand New Heavies, BBD, R Kelly, Jodeci, Mary J Blige, Dr Dre, Snoop, Aaliyah, Jay-Z, Fiona Apple, India Irie, Jill Scott, Goldfrapp, Massive Attack, Norah Jones... etc... etc... TBC....

Movies:

home movie of 1991, i was really good in it. But I am a fair person and can say when i've been outdone, so to be honest 'Hero' is one of my new favourites... fabulous photography and costumes, with a well scripted story line... actually i'm going through an Asian stage, and so i'd also have to say House of Flying Daggers too. Of all time, would have to be anything with Audrey Hepburn; Henry Fonda in 12 Angry Men; Godfather II, Scarface... I'm partial to a good old mobster flick... I also really loved the french flick Amelie snd every part of the City of God earns my respect.

Television:

Discover Channel, History Channel, MTV, BBC, Scrubs, The Apprentice and Sopranos... to be honest I just find it to be a big distraction.

Books:

errmmm, Please DON'T JUDGE ME... but I just use them for reference really. My attention span is somewhat laughable when it comes to reading books! I never can commit to a whole book, if it can't be done in one or two sittings, then it ain't being done at all. I much prefer to communicate with interesting people from different walks of life and hear the stories they have to tell... Or I'll write something myself... or better still, I'll sit down and make a fabulous piece of jewellery.
...However, I did enjoy a book called 'Silk' given to me by Illana Adamson t'was short and sweet, just the way i like em.
