PPP 2: EDITOR IN CHEIF OF ELLE

For my OUGD501 module, I proposed to research and contact inspiration women to speak to, to present in my work. I came across Michelle Ogundehin who is a really influential figure in the creative industry.

She owns MO studio and is the creative director of Elle decorations UK.

Elle Decorations Background: The authority on style and design, ELLE Decoration UK showcases the world’s most beautiful homes and makes good design accessible to everyone through its mix of styles, products and price points. ELLE Decoration UK combines all the inspiration, information and ideas you need to bring your 
home to life.
I thought by chance I would send her a tweet, as I couldn't find any other way of contacting her and luckily she inboxed me directly, with her personal email. Below are some screen shots from our conversation.

*I can't disclose all of the conversation as some of it is personal information*

However after talking to her about things for my module, I decided to keep in contact with her by sending over my work and asking her for her opinion. I felt that by being able to speak to her in the first place was a great opportunity and I would really appreciate some feedback and advice from a recognised professional!

 

That fact that she is the editor in chief for Elle Decorations magazine and owns her own studio is a really inspiration thing for women to look up to and I have also created a contact in the industry.
