About me

Hi my name is Lucy Wain and I graduated from
Nottingham Trent University last summer and I'm currently
looking for more opportunities in the design sector. Since finishing
University I have completed several internships and I have just come
to the end of a contract as a junior designer/illustrator as part of
an in-house design team in an educational company in
Oxfordshire, which has been great. I've been working with senior
designers but also being allowed to see through individual project
from start to finish. Before that I completed an internship with a
creative marketing company in London, which was again different but I
was encouraged to get involved and treated as a member of the team
which meant that I really learned a lot. I have also completed a work
placement, at the National Maritime Museum which I really enjoyed. I
know as a graduate and junior I still have a lot to learn but
can’t wait to have the opportunity to further expand on my
skills. I like working on a wide variety of different projects and
love trying new things. In the past I've really tried to
experiment with my portfolio doing briefs which have allowed me to
use different media for both design and illustration, to develop a
sense of craft that runs throughout all of my work. I've
currently got a lot of illustration in my portfolio, this is mainly
because my last role demanded a lot of different illustrative pieces
for children, however I love working on a wide range of
different design issues from logo to layout and can't wait to
sink my teeth into something new. I am currently volunteering as a
Communications and Marketing Assistant for BBOWT a wildlife charity
based in Oxford. This is an exciting and diverse role working on the
design of publication and inserts for there members pack.
I'm competent with the Adobe Suite as well as spray mount,
scalpels and I definitely make a mean cup of tea. I would really
appreciate being considered as I feel this is a role I would really
enjoy.

Yours Sincerely Lucy Wain
