About me

I am both experienced and enthusiastic within graphics, design and moving image across various platforms, not only within university affairs but also in the world of work during my year placement.

My main interests lie within the world of production, which has geared my education, placements and work experiences. I have completed two placements within the creative industry - King and Tuke advertising and Smoke and Mirrors. Each full-time work placement lasted six months, giving me the opportunity to not only develop skills in a range of areas, but also to learn first-hand the importance of teamwork in a fast-paced environment.

Through these experiences I have gained a variety of both transferable and specific skills, which relate to working in media:

- Industry experience: My work experience placements as a Runner and intern at Smoke and Mirrors and King and Tuke gave me invaluable insight into the production of various types of media. I experienced what it was like to carry out general Runner duties, work under pressure on meeting creative briefs and client demands and also functioning as a team as well as individually.

- Interest in the Media: My enjoyment and critical interest in the media (television, film, music, radio and new media) increased significantly throughout my degree, and will continue to grow.

- Computer skills: During University I have expanded my knowledge and confidence of Microsoft programs such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook Express. As well as a range of tool sets to achieve innovative designs across both 2D and 3D platforms. These include Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, 3DS MAX, Nuke and Boujou. I also have a basic understanding of the Python scripting language.

- Writing/research skills: My degree has proven my ability to carry out in-depth research into a particular subject. A high level of research and analytical reading was essential to complete my final year project which consisted of rebranding Channel 4's music channel, 4 Music.

As a recent graduate, I'm looking for career-building opportunities in an environment where I can learn and flourish.
