About me
I am currently working as a freelance designer/creative artworker in the Wakefield area, whilst looking for a full time position. I am doing my own account handling, pitching for work, designing and creative art working for a mix of clients.
I was previously working as a Senior Graphic Designer / Studio Manager in a full service marketing agency. This gave me experience of artworking, design, corporate branding, campaigns and advertising; project managing a brief from conception to final print. I am used to following brand guidelines, working with John Lewis, Silver Cross and motor company franchises. Due to the diversity of our clients I have also gained a large knowledge of different markets for B2B and B2C. Running the studio, I scheduled and time managed 5 designers and 13 account handlers, having to keep work below 2% of complaints as a message of studio efficiency. I am a self motivated person, organised, able to work as part of a team and my own initiative, eager to learn new skills and be provided with new challenges.
I left my previous role as I was in a situation where I reached a brick wall. I asked for training and progression but nothing was ever given and I was finding it more frustrating as I felt I could not do my job to the fullest and improve on it. The nature of the clients that we were doing was changing also to more motors instead of B2B and B2C and I was loosing my love that I had for design. I want to get this passion and the buzz back.
