About me
I am an experienced Graphic Designer with a body work from some of the biggest brands in the world such as the NFL, Lawn Tennis Association, the football clubs Arsenal, West Ham United and Hibernian to name a few. Working in both publishing and social media.
In over five years in the design industry, I have worked in a variety of different disciplines covering a mix of print and digital media. Most recently focussing on the digital media aspect of my current role with PML where I have designed digital magazines and apps for renowned clients in the NFL, LTA, West Ham United and
Newcastle United to name a few. Working within a number of vastly different brand guidelines requires
a sharp eye for detail and a good working knowledge of the importance of keeping design on-brand. In
addition to my main duties at PML, I am required to edit all video content our clients require. Supporting
video output with effective use of motion graphics where necessary. This can be as part of a brief or even
trusted with creative freedom to design what I believe works best.
In tandem with my full time role I also work in a freelance capacity for Arsenal Football Club, integrated
in to their match-day social media team. Providing graphic support for all their official channels as
well as their match-day show coverage presented on their website and Facebook Live. A position that
necessitates immediate deadlines upon ad-hoc requests to create the maximum engagement possible
with the target audience. Working in such a 'live' environment has helped my build great relationships with
those I work with as the attitude lends itself to working in an efficient and timely manner perfectly.
Prior to my current roles I spent a number of years in the publishing industry, where I learnt the core
foundations for layout and typography, which is fundamental in effective creative. Whilst at Imagine
Publishing I worked on a number of different magazines in PLAY, Web Designer, How It Works, 3D Artist
and Retro Gamer. Each of which held a different style and tone of voice which translated into the design
of each respective magazine.
