About me

I have recently graduated Graphic Design BA (Hons) from the Manchester School of Art - 2014 with a strong desire to pursue a career in Publishing, be it print and/or digital. I am looking for opportunities in Manchester within agencies that focus on communication and creative content. Since graduating I have been actively pursuing full time employment whilst gaining as much experience in the professional environment as possible, to set me in good stead for any possible opportunities.

Throughout my studies I have gained and developed, I believe, invaluable skills in creative projects, and communicating specific ideas with a style and tone of voice that is easily adaptable to different audiences. I am confident in expressing my own ideas and executing projects in a confident and successful manner according to specific briefs or client instruction.

Working across a multitude of communication channels has taught me the importance of tone and style - having the ability to not let me own opinion get in the way of the desired content; I am confident in my ability to create content that can be adaptable to different audiences to create engaging copy, be it through branding, print, digital and editorial communication.

I pride myself on being an effective communicator - both verbal, written and design; being able to express my opinions, debate viewpoints in a constructive and professional manner. I believe I have gained invaluable skills throughout my studies and my professional employment and I have the ability to adapt and take on new roles. I am an outgoing, sociable person who does not shy away from team environments. I believe working amongst a team and bouncing ideas and discussions off one another is one of the best ways to create a successful end result - being able to judge decisions and take criticisms and turn them into positives to create unique content that promotes an idea, a brand or a specific tone of voice. I have an eye for detail through work on branding, logo, layout and general editorial work for university projects, alongside client work where specific requirements must be adhered to. Having an 'eye for detail' is now a skill I believe I take on as a natural response to any work or role I take on - to make sure there are no errors, big or small that compromises a final piece.

I am confident I can bring a positive approach to this role and would love the opportunity to get my foot in the door within a creative agency.

I hope to hear back to talk about this opportunity further.
