About me
For the last four years working as the Senior Designer for a financial company I have helped design and expand the company's material for print and digital platforms. This included creating brochures and marketing material to showcase business services, promotional adverts for external magazines, billboards and social media using the Adobe Creative Suite (primarily InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop). I was trusted as the brand guardian, ensuring that all assets met the guidelines and were consistent throughout all marketing collateral.
Additionally, I built and took the lead on video production across the company during all stages of production. This required use of a DSLR and editing in Adobe Premiere and After Effects, which I'm extremely competent in.
I managed the corporate photoshoots including equipment setup and photography, as well as editing in Adobe Lightroom. The end products were used online and as PR press releases, therefore my work had to be at a very high standard, which I took pride in.
In my role prior to this, I was a digital designer with a sole focus on online design and communication, consisting of building HTML emails and working on client websites via their CMS systems. As you can see, I am able to use many different types of software and have enthusiastically taught myself new digital skills over the years, enhancing my creative work.
Having achieved a degree in Film and Moving Image Production and a Masters In Creative Technology I have a great foundation for creative expression and user experience.
It has always been important for me personally and professionally to stay on top of the latest design trends and to find ways of incorporating new methods, techniques and technologies into the content I create. This includes composition, typography, social media content strategies and adapting video to suit our fast-paced environment.
I know that I can bring a fresh approach with new ideas, and plenty of enthusiasm, as well my long-standing experience and dedication to getting great results.
