  Make It Cheaper. In-house Graphic Designer (Aug 2012- January 2013)
  
  I was the only graphic designer in the 120+ B2B energy switching company. Within More... Marketing I was responsible for all online and print advertisements as well as the aesthetics for internal and partnership correspondence. I worked closely with the marketing executives, bringing creativity to a very wide range of briefs. Using Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign I proved my ability to manage projects in a timely and efficient manner, always juggling many pieces of work at once. Sadly, in late January, due to financial struggles for the company my role was made redundant.
