About me

A hardworking, multi-disciplined culturally savvy account executive with a passion for the design industry, keen to pursue a career in Branding and Packaging. Having already supported the client services team on a number of national and international accounts, I have developed the necessary skills to manage clients and their brands effectively.

Sector Experience

I would draw your attention to my CV, which shows the range of roles that I have undertaken which require high level of communication, interpersonal and interpretive skills. This is best demonstrated by my current role at Crescent Lodge as an account executive and designer on a number of key Middle Eastern and UK brands. Previous to that I have worked as a design consultant on a range of national and international brands at Pemberton and Whitefoord. During my studies, I successfully completed a series of month long internships at various graphic design companies such as Gulf Saatchi and Saatchi and DDB Bahrain. This has enabled me to work with a team of experienced graphic designers and alongside the client service department to design according to a specific brief based on each client’s individual needs in the Arabic Markets.
