Senior Graphic Designer
I worked across print and digital, also managing one other designer and the workflow. I had a varied workload that included branding, RfPs, pitches, publications, office graphics, infographics, social media and branding for events. During my time there I helped to make the messaging that Redington puts out more accessible, working with stakeholders to present their statistics and processes in a way that’s easier to digest and thus has a bigger impact. I recently launched Redington’s new brand successfully throughout the company. This ranged from business cards to Microsoft Office templates, sub-brands and a welcome pack for every staff member. There were over 160 assets that needed branding, less than 2 months to complete them, with a move to a new office at the end of it. All of this with RfPs, pitches, publications, campaigns, events etc to design for alongside.

Print and Digital Designer
I was the lead Print Designer for Mecca Bingo, which is part of The Rank Group, although I worked across print and digital. I designed a range of print, from large format signage and POS to leaflets and mailers. I created and updated all the print templates and I am trusted to check and upload the other designers work for print. In digital I worked on a range of items including site banners, social banners and Gifs. I was in direct contact with the stake holders and printers, and had built up a good understanding of the company’s needs with regards to design work. During my time there, there was a re-brand which has gave me experience working on another brand and helping refine the style of a new brand.

Graphic Designer
During my time at fonehouse I was one of 2 designers creating all the POS for the 46 stores across the UK, as well as graphics for the website, after job cuts, I was the only designer, so I had much more work and responsibilities. I really enjoyed the challenge of working on such a range of design, from posters and web graphics to on screen static adverts and the fonehouse monthly magazine, the foneguide, which I re-designed. I also created brochures, leaflets, business cards, in store POS, all in house official comminications, wndow vinyls and more.
