This role provides an ever changing creative challenge when working with the Marketing and Development teams to design for digital and print projects. From in-house right across to client design projects, this design role has built upon my creative experience, training me in many different types of mediums.

Excellent communication is key to this role as with each creative project there are multiple design consultations with the client at key stages. This ensures we execute the highest standard of creative work and meet the brief first time. Additionally communication has played a key role in assisting the Development Manager with project management, managing workloads and assigning tasks to team members.

While leading all design tasks at Total Solutions, I have improved my management skills, attention to detail and focused my creative skill set towards branding and digital design.

Clients worked with: Kwik-Fit, STS Tyres, Extra Services & Virgin Media.

This fast-pasted media role provided a great opportunity to work across a wide range of mediums including conceptualisation, art working, identity creation, web design and motion graphics.

As the only designer it is my responsibility to ensure we not only deliver projects on time and on budget but strive to exceed the client’s expectations delivering first class results every time.

Clients worked with: Disney Pixar, Nissan, Vauxhall, Clinique & Visit Yorkshire

A dynamic role that has involved designing for many world famous brands like Disney Pixar as well as for designing in-house. Juggling multiple creative projects has improved my management skills in a fast pasted agency environment.

This has included creating flash animations, printed media, wall art, canvas, posters and interactive designs to be used across campaigns. This role has helped me develop my time management skills as this fast pasted media agency often works to tight deadlines.

During my time at Aloco I successful managed all the graphic design projects from brief to completion. This has involved designing and creating new websites as well as completely redesigning their catalogues (both online and digital), creating flash animations, digital banners, html emails and artwork to be used across the brands.

Working within this global company has developed my attention for detail and ability to maintain the companies brand across all design work. It has also given me the chance to work on many challenging projects while working to tight deadlines.

An exciting opportunity that gave me the chance to showcase my design work in the city centre as well as take part in new briefs with design agency’s such as Tomato, Good for Nothing and Burgopak.

In order to do this we had to raise the money through creating and selling Christmas cards as well as packing bags at a local supermarket for donations, raising in the region of £2000. Our determination and commitment allowed us the unique experience of a D&AD exhibition. Our efforts also gained us exposure at the event as we only group to have paid our way without the help of our university.

This fantastic opportunity to work as part of a small creative team and gave me the chance to create stunning artwork which would be used across a wide range of medias.

This included creating solutions for invitations, a website (www.uncoated.co) and a way finding system within the exhibition space. While completing the brief I gained experience working along side printers, the clients and all the 32 students that took part in the exhibition, creating a professional pitch which was presented to the Principle and members of HR, managing a large scale project as well as working to a tight budget.

The brief for this project was to create strong brand for Vanquish Photography that could easily be applied to exhibitions, printed matter, online and on the website. The brief also included design of the website that would promote the bold yet traditional style of photography.

Working as a freelance designer allowed me to work closely with the clients requirements and see the design through all stages of the creative process.
