Melbourne, AustraliaWork Experience
Mesh Interactive
Senior Designer
My role at Mesh consisted mainly of Web Design working with brands like IPOH, Dexus Retail, Charter Hall, Southern Cross Austereo, QVB, Chifley Plaza and The Strand Arcade, Cadigal.
This included meeting with clients and pitching to clients, I also managed all the creative concepts right through to the final art product working closely with programers and developers to make sure the site functions as it was designed to and also maintained the visual integrity of the design throughout that process.
One of the highlights of this role would be the work done for The Strand Arcades website. Where I came up with a concept that my self and the Client Services Director then pitched to the The Strand Team. From that meeting I then developed the concept taking into account the unique qualities of the strand and seeing where we could push their online presence and build their brand. I then worked with the development team making sure that what I was designing was possible and that before we went ahead with the build everyone knew what would be involved and how it could be done. This lead to a smooth and quick build and we delivered a unique, fresh and edgy site that was unlike any of its competitors and approached mall sites in a completely new way. This lead to IPOH wanting Mesh to do more of their sites as they loved what what we had done with The Strand.
