Favourite tool in Illustrator?

The horizontal and vertical align center button. Need I say more?

Best thing about my dog?

Besides being the cutest dog on the entire planet (what are the chances?) He once mistook a wooden planter shaped like a jack russell to be a real life dog and excitedly tried to say hello. Heartbreaking for him, hilarious for me.

Party trick?

I’m really good at jigsaws. And Sudokus. Both are pretty big crowd pleasers as you can imagine.

Top of the bucket list?

Go horse trekking in Kyrgyzstan. Have I ever ridden a horse before? No. You can blame Race Against the World and my Instagram algorithm for that one.

Design experience

With experience working both in an agency setting as well as in house, I have spent the past nine years working on a rich variety of projects. Some say it’s best to have a specialism, but I’d class myself as a pretty strong all-rounder due to the smorgasbord of briefs I have been exposed to. My strength as a designer therefore lies in my adaptability and willingness to get involved in absolutely anything, no matter the size or complexity of a project.

I have developed a strong understanding of the creative process and my work is underpinned with a deep understanding of consumer and customer behaviour. I pride myself in my ability to work at pace, without loss of quality and am able to constantly adapt to deadline fluctuations as projects progress.

With a keen eye for detail I am able to meticulously translate toolkits to omni-channel touchpoints at pace. I also have a strong technical capability, with experience producing packaging cutterguides from scratch and supporting the artwork development process through to attending proof on press to sign off final designs.

Certifcations

In 2024 I obtained a certification in Leadership Essentials, an ILM Recognised programme of learning, created and delivered by Evoke People Development Ltd. The programme helped me deepen my knowledge and skills in leadership within the workplace. I have experience managing the workflow of a small design studio as well as supporting designers through their apprenticeships.
