About me
My background includes corporate, agency and freelance graphic design experience, with a history of leading print, interactive and digital design projects to acclaimed completion. I have worked on nationwide and international marketing, advertising, product launch and image campaigns for global brands and companies,
I am currently responsible, and positioned as the design team lead, designing/publishing approximately 470+ graphics per month. These graphics are used for both business purposes, as well as, a vehicle for providing brands the ability to enable us to provide clients data in a manner which is easily absorbed, and able to resonate with the reader/viewer.
Most designs are translated in a number of different languages such as Mandarin and Portuguese, in addition to English. Some of the smaller graphics created are used for sales purposes- to give potential clients a sample of what they can expect from our full (paid for) publications.
Part of my role is also to create large graphics, which are then used for press interviews, as well as, by Television Networks/Channels, such as the BBC as well as, via National Press. I have had the honour of having my creative data visualisation work displayed in NYC in Times Square itself and also being featured in the 2017 beauty conference in NYC where snippets of my work were taken by a number of beauty bloggers and Social Media Influencers such as Anastasia Soare founder of Anastasia Beverly Hills.
Working within a global design team I have experience working in an iterative process and being able to accept art direction and feedback on a professional level has always been critical to the success of each of the deliverables my team and I work on.
