Creative Director  | Flair Entertainment

What does a typical day look like for you? 

Luckily for me, every day at Flair Entertainment looks quite different. However, I’m always busiest on an event day. Every event brings fresh challenges and unique experiences, but the majority of my role consists of managing costume logistics, running tech rehearsals, preparing costumes, hair, and makeup for our performers, and then coordinating the running of all entertainment aspects during the event.

How did you get your job? What training, degree, and education do you need?

Before starting Flair Entertainment, I was teaching drama and musical theatre, which opened my eyes to the breadth of talent on the island. When lockdown approached in 2020, there was instantly a roster of professionally talented performers back on the island, which Jersey hadn’t previously had. In 2021, Flair Entertainment was launched. My aim was to bridge the gap between local entertainment and exceptional talent by creating bespoke performances that Jersey hadn’t seen before.

What are the most important skills needed for your role or job? 

Adaptability and attention to detail.

Are there any future skills you will need to learn for your role? 

I hope to be continuously learning throughout my career, but it would be particularly great to further develop my event design knowledge and continue to master digital marketing strategies for larger public events.

What is the best part of your job? What motivates you in this role?

I always believed that there was unlimited potential for entertainment in Jersey, just waiting to take centre stage. The performers who are a part of Flair Entertainment are at the heart of everything we do. Creating a workplace that continuously inspires creativity and aspiration is the driving force behind our company.

What advice would you give someone interested in a career in your profession? 

Surround yourself with like-minded people who are as passionate about the profession as you.

Who inspires you, and why?

The performers who are a part of Flair Entertainment inspire me every day. Their passion for performing and the creative energy in the room when you fill it with people who are able to do what they love for work are contagious!
