I help Portfolio Recruit's clients (design studios and advertising agencies in Auckland City) intermittently with various Graphic Design, art working and Mac Op tasks. My day to day tasks vary, from preparing files for print, making requested changes across designs and developing concepts for branded material.

My role as Graphic Designer at No Shame Record involved web design aspects and various print design. I worked with the label managers, and the label's artists to create design that was consistent and coherent with existing brands. I would very often develop styles and concepts for print design, then carry that design style across to web design and develop banners, avatar images and web elements. I was given projects that would require complete creative control and development, which allowed me to take their initial thoughts and tone of voice, and turn them into a finished design piece.

I had two different roles at Panacea3. For my Graphic Design role I was responsible for creating various graphics for Panacea3 and their clients. This included, but was not limited to, developing branding identity, creating website banners, social network banners and avatars, designing style guides and templates, optimizing imagery for web and designing posters. My role as an account manager required me to manage clients online accounts, and ensure their social networks were consistently and coherently updated and managed. My goal was to gain interaction through their social sites and to make them more present on the world wide web.

Because Robert Arnow Design is a small studio, my role consists of a variation of skills. Whether it be pre-pressing files for print, or designing mailers, assisting with concepts for designs, editing pre-existing print work, assisting with design for a website, or converting rasterized illustrations to vector, I am constantly learning new skills and exploring many different areas of Graphic Design.

I work alongside the in-house design team to create website banners, animated GIF banners, patterns for backgrounds, CD covers, Facebook and social images.

My role is to work with the creative team to help edit current websites, editing imagery, coming up with new concepts for retainer clients, designing banners and adverts for promotional work, and research.

I was assistant to Senior Designer and Ilustrator Rosie Skinner, at Bizam Brands. I helped with research of logos, packagaing and spreads. I also created concepts for clients. I enjoyed helping critique concepts with the creative team.

I adored studying. I genuinely miss it.
Natcoll Design Technology prides themselves of being an intense, thorough, hands-on education programme. They focus on teaching their pupils on the technological side of design, so I left Natcoll Design Technology with full confidence in the Creative Suite.
Every single brief we were given (quite often it would be 4-5 briefs in a week) I would try my absolute hardest, from beginning to end. I loved the creative process and creating visual diaries, researching designers and analyzing their work, critiquing my work and perfecting it.
I learnt so much about the vast aspects of design at Natcoll, it gave me a taste of the capabilities of the big, wide world of design.
