During my time in academic study, I was given the opportunity to learn from industry professionals allowing me to develop my skillset and to be inventive and resourceful in the fulfilment of tasks I am set.

Work Experience
ELAS Business Support
Creative Designer
Working as the in-house Creative Designer for ELAS business consultancy gave me the opportunity to fulfil a wide range of creative briefs. Working as part of the closely knit marketing team creating commercial media such as brand collateral and adverts for ELAS’s newly established portfolio of brands: STS and Sound Advice as well as curating and constructing engaging media executions for the parent brand. In terms of print media this includes the creation of brochures, logos, posters, catalogues and large scale pop up banners. However, my real passion is are my digital responsibilities creating website content and creating email advertising campaigns from concept inception right the way through to streamlining HTML coding for a wide range devices.
