About me

I'm a Graphic Designer based in Preston, Lancashire with over 7+ years of experience working with some amazing brands across the UK. Highly experienced using Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), to create campaigns and designs that reach.
I have worked on a wide range of design projects including: Packaging, POS, Branding, Digital, Social and Marketing Campaigns. As well as project leading and producing catalogues for one of the country's largest mailing customer bases. I've lead creative projects for a variety of marketing collateral and developing graphics that aim to enhance a brands image and consumer engagement.
I have organised, developed and art directed photo shoots in the UK and abroad, ensuring visual consistency of the brand across different locations and projects. This included styling, art directing, editing images and shooting photography when needed. I have the ability to balance multiple responsibilities and effectively manage multiple facets of a project.

I've designed and outputted creative for multiple digital outputs ranging from social, web and HTML email, as well as having a working knowledge of HTML coding. I've also lead the intergeneration of organising and naming all assets within Brandfolder to streamline and simplify the digital asset filing and organising.

I work as part of a small internal studio for JD Outdoors where my job includes working on several projects and brands simultaneously to very tight deadlines. Currently my responsibilities include producing, managing and designing monthly marketing campaigns (Print, POS & Digital) for GO Outdoors, Blacks & Millets as well as a number of own brands such as OEX, Berghaus & Peter Storm. I successfully collaborate with designers and non designers alike, ensuring consistency and accuracy across all creative collateral.
