About me

My name is Paul Mellor. I am a highly creative, Senior / Lead Creative

with over 17 years creative agency experience. I have a broad portfolio including high profile and smaller brands, along with a wide range of industry experience. I am proficient in all design related software.

I completed my studies at Sheffield College, which was a recognised

Centre of Excellence in design. As a student, I gained a HND in Design Communications, with an overall grade of Distinction.

I Just left my role as Lead Creative for a marketing agency called Rare Creative. My role involves overseeing creative projects along side my normal design workload whilst managing a team of four talented designers. My overall objective is to see briefs through from conception of ideas to finished artwork. I am used to having regular client contact and attend most client meetings, including new business pitches.

During my time as a Designer, I have worked on many successful creative pitches, as well as strengthening existing client relationships for the agency

by producing consistently strong and effective work. I am comfortable when focusing on conceptual ideas and also working under pressure to deadlines.

I have experience in all areas of graphic design, with a particular emphasis

on marketing literature. I particularly enjoy working with typography and

I am really interested in creative literature formats. I have a keen eye for photography and have enjoyed overseeing photo shoots in my previous roles. Over the past 5 years I have widened my skill set by involving myself more in front end digital design. I have been a part of both print and digital teams that have received many commendations and won various awards.

I have also assisted in issuing briefs and I have carried out numerous guest lecture spots at the University I attended.
