Working individually and as part of a creative team to deliver graphic design solutions from concept through to completion for a wide range of packaging, branding, literature and promotional campaigns. Duties include designing, managing and producing projects from brief to fulfilment and employing a comprehensive range of practices to achieve that. As part of my role I was also required to produce original illustrations as needed with a variety of media, have a special aptitude for photography and mentor junior team members.

HIGHLIGHTS: Spirits Business Design Master Awards for Highland Park Thor
and Cutty Sark Tam o’ Shanter (two of only three awarded that year); creating a limited edition whisky that sold out in two days.

My duties at this Manchester studio included designing a wide range of promotional literature, branding and direct mail campaigns for clients like the AA, Toyota and Audi. I also had the opportunity to work with a web developer producing online campaigns for the likes of Silverstone and RAC. I managed all design projects from initial concept through to realisation and always strived to push creative boundaries regardless of budget.

I worked independently on design projects for a variety of business sectors including healthcare, financial services, food and beverages, IT and engineering.

I started with mock-ups but quickly proved my worth and progressed to working on high profile promotional material and packaging for Orange, Reebok, Sony and Virgin.
