Gemma Cartwright’s Summary

I'm an experienced online journalist and blogger with a huge passion for fashion and lifestyle. I created Catwalk Queen and was involved in its production from 2001 - 2009. I also helped launch sites like Shoewawa.com and Trashionista.com during my time at Shiny Media. I have experience in managing a team, and took great pride in producing and commissioning quality content for a group of well-respected, popular fashion & lifestyle websites.

As well as the obvious blogging, social media and web 2.0 skills I've also turned my hand to everything from video presenting (and editing) to writing gadget reviews for ShinyShiny.tv and columns for Dollymix.tv. I am now working on new launches and personal projects, as well as freelancing as a blogger, writer and blog consultant.
