About me

After studying at university in Edinburgh I moved to London where I have worked for the past two years. Working with marketing teams from premium brands such as DKNY, Clinique and Chanel. Designing and developing point-of-sale and display items to promote brands, events and new products. Under the wing of a small manufacturing company I began to manage my own projects, from initial brief to design to manufacture and even dispatch. I was responsible for creating technical drawings for machine and manufacturing, ordering materials and external services, budgeting and preparing artworks for print as well as being available to my colleagues for their design needs.

Having relocated to the Yorkshire area I am currently working as a freelance designer mainly taking on branding and web development projects for small businesses. I enjoy this work as I am learning about industries outside of my experience however I am looking for full time employment.
