During my time at this full-service agency I gained the ability to turn my hand to everything that came my way, be it TV, online, retail, brand, identities, brochures or social media. As senior design lead I designed and guided projects through a studio of junior designers, in-house DTP operators and a production team from proposal to production. My dedicated approach to pitches helped to win business in excess of $14 million whilst still turning my attention to creative awards. I worked across a mixed client base, on fully integrated campaigns, under mentorship of Executive Creative Director, Vanessa Pearson.

I gained my first global advertising experience in graphic design and art direction at McCann, working in a fast paced role - across print, branding and digital. I was tasked to redesign catalogues, magazines, and infused new life and renewed revenue stream into countless marketing campaigns for both local and global brands. My time here was short lived as I joined the Executive Creative Director, Vanessa Pearson, at her new start-up agency.

My design career took off as entry-level designer at this medium sized design agency. This role involved working in a small studio team, alongside the design director, across a wide variety of projects including FMCG, print, collateral and digital. I gained valuable technical knowledge and time-management skills including DTP and digital.

The purpose of this internship was to gain production and DTP knowledge necessary to start a career in design and advertising. I gained hands-on experience using specialised desktop publishing and printing techniques.

A short internship while completing my studies. It helped me gain real work experience in a fast-paced environment.
