Originally as a Junior Designer, I progressed into a higher Graphic Design role holding more responsibility as time progressed including my final few months, where I had been managing and organising the small design team day-to-day.
My main duties have involved keeping the brand up to date, creating new assets across many platforms and mediums across the business using the Adobe Creative Suite to design email templates, social media assets, downloadable tools, printed assets, working on seasonal and promotional campaigns, editing and designing CMS landing pages for the website. Also, I have built retail, user and customer focused HTML emails regularly which are sent to a large user base.

During a 2 month paid design internship, I had taken on a numerous amount of projects where i have learnt the intensity and the values of working with various clients, having to work to tight deadlines and working on an array of different briefs. I learnt the value of teamwork by working alongside talented designers, art workers and account handlers to develop work whilst reporting progress and working directly with a creative director.
