About me
As a creative with over 4 years' experience, I am more than suitable for the Creative Designer, during this time I have worked in the same role for a successful 'full service' marketing agency, carrying out all and more of the tasks outlined in the job description on a daily basis. I have played a key role in helping the company triple in size and turn over within its first 4 years of trading, all skills learnt in the process will be brought to the table.
As a proactive, attentive and well organised individual I have taken my ethics through to my work as a designer. I am praised regularly for reliability, attention to detail and time-keeping. Working in a full service agency has given me skills to work across different brands in all sectors, having such a varied mix of clients makes my skillset even more important. I am expected to work to strict deadlines, keep in mind different budgets, present to a range of stakeholders in both public and private sector and adhere to different design and accessibility guidelines.
My daily tasks can include liaising with UK and international clients, producing briefs to take back to an internal team. I lead idea generation meetings to develop concepts and practical strategies on and offline. This requires managing others people time beside my own, planning and scheduling a project management system.
My practical skills range from the layout and typography of large corporate documents, through to digital design on all platforms including responsive mobile websites and applications. Other tasks include brand development, illustration, photography, specific art-working, the design and build of HTML email and video/animation. Carrying out these tasks means I am fluent in the majority of Adobe software.
Looking at the job description I feel my skill set covers all requirements. As an individual, I am confident in what I can achieve and I use feedback to develop myself further as a designer. My creative flair means I find it natural to produce original solutions and my passion for creative design has grown together with my knowledge of the discipline. I manage to keep informed on the latest trends by attending regular conferences and exhibitions throughout the country, being fully immersed in the design community has enabled me to form excellent communication skills and the confidence to talk about my creative ideas and passion for the industry.
