About me

Having seen the vacancy for Creative Interior Designer/ Stylist for Argos Photographic Studio advertised on creativepool.co.uk I would very much like to be considered for the position.

I currently work as a Design Consultant for Heal and Son Ltd. I am also part of the team responsible for the Visual Merchandising in the Brighton branch. Heals is a trend setting company and therefore has a constant turn around of displays, the mood is fast paced and exciting.

I initially worked in the Heals flagship store in London, I then transferred to the Brighton branch as a General Design Consultant to gain a wider scope of understanding across different products and departments. After transferring I joined a team in which I was the most experienced person. Having been trained at the flagship store I soon became responsible for training the other members of the team in a variety of skills including; Visual Merchandising, understanding materials and manufacturing processes and how to process orders.

After leaving University I worked for one of Britains largest Merchandising agencys Momentum. Momentum is responsible for the complete visual turn around of stores such as Boots, Lloyds Pharmacy, Waitrose, Sainsburys and Tesco's.

This would mean merchandising a variety of different products including beauty products, health products, food, clothes, toys and general household goods. Working in such large-scale stores, the merchandising had to be done in a systematic and organised manner. I had a natural ability to solve issues with layout plans, worked well within a team and quickly progressed to training newcomers and leading the display team.

My Degree specialized in 3D design, the broad nature of the course allowed me to develop an understanding of retail and design from the initial brief through to the delivery of the product to the consumer. I have a passion for design and in particular designing house-hold products. Having bought products from Argos for many years and also using it as a source of research when working on projects, I feel I have a good understanding of the Brands image and what the typical consumer would expect from a visual 'Look Book'.

I am reliable, efficient and always complete any task assigned to me. Moreover, I am confident in autonomously approaching subjects or tasks with which I am unfamiliar and I enjoy working under pressure, either individually or as part of a team. I thrive on a fast paced constantly changing environment with tight deadlines and I enjoy connecting with individuals on all professional levels.

I have a passion for retail in a commercial capacity as well as a designer. I believe in increasing my knowledge of the retail world through experience, and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the Argos Brand.
