About me

Experienced commercial professional, specialising in B2B sales, marketing & advertising, business development, graphic design, and written copy. I am looking to pursue a career within the creative sphere, and would be suited to a role within marketing, UX and Graphic Design.
As a graduate of University of Southampton, a world-class Russell group university, I gained extensive knowledge of consumer practices, graphic and visual design, business management, marketing, and trend analysis. I have an overpowering need for creativity, I am eager to build concepts which free my artistic expression and art & design has always been at the forefront of this. Studying for my undergraduate degree opened my eyes to the possibility of marketing & graphic design and gave me tools and skills which I now aim to expand in a professional setting.
Not only did my degree supply me with the knowledge and understanding of fashion design, I was also taught how to skilfully use adobe creative suite, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, which would excel me within
this role.
My professional experience has also supplied me with tools that would benefit a role in the creative sphere, I have expansively learned about visual merchandising and how you can influence consumers and increase sales through attractive displays and immersive shopping experiences. Through my role as a recruiter, I have gained knowledge and experience in social media marketing, advertising, market trends, and B2B relationships, which are all transferable skills that would suit any professional setting.

Since finishing university, I have also been involved or led many independent projects primarily within graphic and visual design. Examples of these projects are: a business card for a personal trainer based in
Southampton, I partnered with a Southampton based artist to create and sell a vector art map for their mosaic trail around the city, and during COVID, I set up a mini venture for designing, creating, and selling earrings; for this, I created all the social media posts and artwork for advertising. Additionally, to this, I am continuing to develop my skills of UX/UI and designing a portfolio website prototype through Figma.

I feel I am suited to this role as I am naturally charismatic and always aim to thrive in everything I do. I use my learned skills, knowledge and energetic personality to motivate my colleagues, team and our customers. My working style is participative which I feel is essential when working within the team. I have a strong background with customer service which allows me to proficiently carry out my own job role whilst also being able to support other members of the team with their roles.
In summary, my experience and professionalism would be ideal for getting started role, but I also feel that this opportunity would supply new skills whilst refining those skills I already possess. The role would set me up for a successful career in the creative arts, which really would be a dream come true.
