About me

I am predominantly a Graphic designer/ Illustrator and art director with a BA (Hons) Illustration degree. My most recent role, I was employed as the Senior Graphic Designer for the award-winning global haircare brand, ghd. Over the last two and half years, I have become a valued and trusted member of their small studio team, and managed to build excellent working relationships with all relevant departments. I worked closely with all departments including PR, marketing, social media, digital and e-commerce. Playing a major part in creating and producing new campaigns and organising photography of all new products. I also not only assisted the Studio and Content Director on all campaign, social shoots, still shoots and video content.But I also project managed a number of them myself. From conception through to final delivery at various locations. On a daily basis, I would be highly involved in creating campaign artwork material from digital to print, from initial ideas to full layout designs, from simple web banners to full POS designs suites, ready for stores or website use, usually with very tight deadlines.. Alongslide this, my other tasks included retouching briefs and keeping great working relationships with all external clients and suppliers including photographers, re-touchers, modelling agencies etc. I also managed a creative artworker.
