Katie Nicholson

Junior Designer

Luton, United Kingdom
I have over a years experience working in design agencies as an intern and freelancer and during this time I have worked on numerous live and internal projects including Toblerone, Bacardi freezer and Eyelure Paris Lash Edit packaging. I also freelance for my own clients thus far creating book jackets and corporate identities.

I have a strong interest and passion for packaging, corporate identity and branding with experience in other design areas including poster design and photography. I am a keen, enthusiastic designer who is reliable, pays attention to detail and a hard worker. I produce work to a high standard within deadlines and am able to do so as an individual or as part of a team.
