About me
I have over two years valuable experience at YourCash in an in-house marketing team which blossomed into a multi-company, multi-language digital agency; I am fluent in both environments. As a designer who values organisation and time management, I hit tight deadlines consistently and deal with pressure calmly and effectively. My strict coordination of tasks is complimented with my ability to be flexible and re-prioritise according to projects and unexpected work loads, I was often presented with emergency ad hoc tasks that out-weighed scheduled work. I am able to juggle projects systematically to ensure everyones satisfaction.
Starting in a marketing department means I am accustomed to marketing techniques and campaigns. I have run marketing campaigns myself including a mail chimp in NL to advertise a vacancy and a 'refer a friend' SMS campaign in IRL. I consider myself a self starter with a 'can-do' attitude - no challenge is too big, I meet it head first with a hands on approach.
I work well within any team dynamic or on solo projects. I enjoyed liaising with different departments such as Projects or Sales, as well as external agencies and contracts such as printers and web developers. I was a commended member not only within the marketing team but within the company as a whole. Being an active member and ambassador of YourCash, I believe it is vital to have good working relationships all round. Not only was I representing the company on face value, I also had the responsibility of the branding guidelines of multiple companies, ensuring every design piece was compliant and true to these guidelines. This also required me to keep all content up to date and in keeping with the line of business, the target audience, and being mindful of what is currently happening in the world and industry.
I do not solely depend on others, and I have flourished in solo projects such as a six week merchandising project in Ireland in 2018 where I was tasked with revising our parent companies POS due to a rebrand. I managed everything from my travel to recording each and every single site I personally visited, taking note of what was agreed with the merchant and editing photos to visualise the ideas. This was a challenge I thoroughly enjoyed, meeting the Irish sales team and forming professional bonds with them as well as the customers as the face of Euronet. This is a great demonstration of how I take projects from early stages of research through to fruition, and in this case, re-designing store fronts and interiors to drive traffic and increase transactions whilst upholding Euronets branding guidelines.
I am a relentless worker and believe one should never stop learning in an ever changing world and industry. Originally, YourCash outsourced their video editing and animation work, through my enthusiasm and discipline I trained myself to a high enough standard to bring all animation work in-house (saving the company thousands.)
I have firm skills in the core Adobe programs Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, After Effects and Premier Pro. During my career I have mastered tasks such as Large Format Print, Business Stationery, POS, Marketing and Sales Materials and Merchandise. I have a clear understanding of the principles of print and digital design, ensuring the work strictly meets their guidelines. I am able to quickly deliver high quality, lead provoking content and work which meets branding guidelines and industry standards. My time efficiency does not impact the quality of the final product. My attention to detail and proof reading skills are impeccable.
During the COVID-19 pandemic I have been keeping in the design field through my freelance work, providing creative services to a broad range of companies from DJ labels, to Network Rail, to Travel Agencies. In this time I have created Brand Guidelines from scratch for a Virtual Assistant company 'Tangent Solutions' and using these guidelines templated a website from the landing page to the 'Call to Action' buttons. I have also been stretching my animation skills further and working on various information videos, adverts, promos as well as music videos.
