Gemma Bissex's Linkedin Analytics

After studying Graphic Arts & Design at Leeds Metropolitan University in the 90's I moved back to London and began a career as a magazine designer and art director working on many leading consumer fashion and lifestyle magazines including Cosmopolitan, Cosmopolitan Bride, Glamour, Marie Claire, Now, Company, Sky Magazine, and Living Etc. One of my most notable achievements was working on the launch of a new magazine for Homebase at Publicis Blueprint. ​ In 2009, I immigrated to Vancouver, Canada where I started my new Canadian life working as the Editorial Art Director for the Georgia Straight Newspaper. Since then, I formed my own design company and have had the privilege of working with some of the best creatives in the business both in Canada and internationally, all of which have helped me become the person I am today. My huge love of fashion has lead me to ventures into styling for both lifestyle and e-commerce photoshoots as well as retail presentation display at top department stores including Hudson's Bay and Nordstrom. I’m currently a fashion stylist at the James Perse boutique combining my love of design in an exclusive LA fashion brand. ​ Recent clients include Fleurs de Villes, Ana Allen, Va Bien, Wines Of Germany, eBrake, Portable Electric, LB Technologies.
