About Me

Emily Fitzgerald is an international fashion model turned art and fashion director, account manager and events coordinator. Emily spent her modelling years liaising with top makeup artists, hair and fashion stylists and production managers in Tokyo, Singapore, Australia and Paris. She absorbed the various specialities involved in the production of highly prestigious events and fashion shows.
Fitzgerald would like to specialize working as an account manager to a top agency, highly creative company or exceptional magazine in order to enhance her knowledge of the creative industries, organizing people, seeking sponsorship and managing advertising accounts. Emily already has a thorough
understanding of the conditions freelance artists’ face and their priorities. She has had a serious amount of experience liaising with artists from the Kaliman Gallery artist stable, Chic and Priscilla's Model Management stable. Fitzgerald will thrive off liaising with the most prestigious TV advertising
clients, magazine editors and top creatives to facilitate the best possible working conditions for artists, fashion designers, stylists and production designers. She has formed strong bonds with clients in order to harness major deals and provide excellent opportunities for all parties involved.
Fitzgerald is an intelligent and highly motivated multi-tasker who is efficient and extremely organized with a personable and solid work ethic.
