Taylor Jane Bardsley
About Me.
I'm a graduate of The University of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Media, majoring in Journalism. My degree has instilled in me excellent verbal and written communication skills; content creation skills in audio, video, photographic, and graphic formats; and marketing skills, particularly in copywriting. I've also completed several short courses over the last few years, including:
​
-
Media and Communication for the Fashion Industry at IED Istituto Europeo di Design (Florence, Italy)
-
Introduction to Fashion Styling at TAFE SA
-
Social Media Marketing Certification Course through HubSpot Academy
-
Introduction to Interior Decoration at TAFE SA.
​​
I strongly believe in lifelong learning, and each of these courses has helped expand my knowledge and skillset in several creative industries, making me a well-rounded creative professional.
​
In my spare time, you can find me researching the best new brunch spots or endlessly drinking tea whilst reading a good book - I'm currently obsessed with the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon.
