About me

Hello there,

I am a passionate and versatile Senior Designer with a proven ability to create engaging, successful packaging, print and web design solutions while adhereing to branding style guides, extending to setting 'styling' templates and creating/developing style guides - all along with an approachable, can-do attitude and high creative drive.

Fully conversant in using industry standard design software (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign CS5.5), with excellent retouching skills and solid knowledge of the print process. I can also create HTML emails and front end web design and graphics, and impressive presentations in Keynote (mac).

A role where I can continue specialising in packaging or branding in an established large or bluechip company based in central London would be my ideal. It's important to me to be in an exciting role where I can really use my creative skills to feel like I am making a difference, have a voice, and be in an environment where I feel I am continuing my learning and there is opportunity to progress.

I can see through all stages of the design process from the initial conceptual and research stage, new product development, style guide development, all the way through to presenting to management team and final artworking. I am familiar with internal and external approval processes and liasing with licensors, pre-pressing files for print and approving pre-production samples. I'm a self-initiated worker and can manage multiple projects, brief and mentor other designers and achieve tight deadline turnarounds.

Please get in touch if you think I could be the right person for you,

Stacy
