Work Experience
Miss Selfridge
Graphic Designer
Responsible for all offline graphics across the whole of Miss Selfridge stores in the UK & International. From creating marketing campaign material to designing brand books, my role varied day to day, where I was challenged to develop new ideas to deliver each campaign.
Internationally I worked on Dubai Races 2015, 16 & 17 from concept to delivery, offering a range of digital and offline assets, to support this major event.
Locally, I pushed through a refresh on in store graphics, focusing on POS, where the old distressed look was feeling out of date. The result was a more fun, modern POS library, which related more to the Miss Selfridge customer.
Oxford Circus flag ship store was the focus of my attention, ensuring impressive graphics & photography were on show at High Level, and Low Level in store.
I lead on and worked with a team to unveil the new Trafford flagship store in Manchester, where we created marketing assets to support a weeks long launch event. The store opened with a large new campaign imagery that covered the entire walls top to bottom.
