Senior Graphic Designer

AAC

March 2018 - June 2019

In my most recent role at AAC (formerly AAC Saatchi & Saatchi), I was brought into one of the island's most creative teams to assist with their impressive workload. Communicating efficiently with the team we were involved in a number of campaigns including Hamilton Princess's, Summer 2018 photoshoot and creative direction for the publicity that year. We were the sole advertising team involved in promoting Bermuda's Arts Festival throughout the country. As well as 2018's Captive Conference, I was tasked with creating resources for clients such as Bacardi, Clarien, Hamilton Corporation, Butterfield & Vallis and many other household Bermudian names. Working to deadlines, including evenings/weekends to make sure that we delivered is commonplace within this industry.

Identifying the key ways to communicate the right message to the correct area of the community was always at the centre of our strategies. Staying up to date with trends in the design world but just as importantly within the social media environment was an area we developed a lot. Maintaining a number of clients monthly advertising in print as well as online was a large part of the service provided. Experience using high-end Xerox(R) Versant(R) 180 Press with the Fiery Command WorkStation driver software.

In addition to my role I trained myself within animations packages Adobe Animate and After Effects as I recognised that video is a vital part of relaying the message to the correct market in order to promote the clients needs.
