Freelance Graphic DesignerElena Feyzi Designs
Long Beach, United StatesFreelance
Working as a freelance Graphic Design/Creative Artworker, I am flexible to work on location or remotely. Due to my experience working within the design industry for many years, I am able to offer a wide range of design-based services – from initial concepts for new brand identities to artwork and production. Over the last year, this has included producing unique stationery items such as business cards, branded stickers, letterheads etc, plus a host of projects from advertising, direct mail and more. Most recently, I have worked with businesses such as Equipment4Garages, AFE Accountants Ltd and Fyte Food – which included producing brand identities, various stationery items, brochures, press advertisements, leaflets, merchandise and more, as well as updating/editing their websites via CMS and designing email campaigns created with MailChimp.
Through recommendations, I also have the pleasure of working with clients organising a special event, such as a wedding or christening. I am required to design bespoke stationery such as invitations and "on the day" items which include large format table plans, menu's, tags and more.

Creative Designer & Delivery ExecutiveAccord Marketing
- Tottenham Court Rd, Fitzrovia, London, UKFull Time
Working as a senior designer and artworker within a team, I provided skilled and technically precise input and support in the design studio. Continuously working against strict deadlines, I remained organised and efficient in a fast-paced, multitasking environment. It was essential that in my role here as a senior member of staff, I was enthusiastic, decisive and highly organized in my flexibility to prioritise work load and maintain a positive attitude and strong work ethic.
Responsible for the design and artwork of advertisements and marketing materials across a broad range of clients, ensuring the delivery to newspaper and magazine publications are received on time and are of a high quality, applying to strict brand guidelines (some supplied by the client, whilst others created by myself), and consistency remained with a particular marketing campaign. This required attention to detail and the ability to organise multiple campaigns and promotions simultaneously.
Efficiently and effectively deal with any media queries relating to the delivery of copy. This required liaising with representatives of the media, for example individuals at the Daily Mail, The Telegraph and The Sun to name a few, in order to resolve any issues.
Parallel to my duties mentioned above, I was responsible for the design and artwork of a monthly subscription-only magazine titled ‘Blue Horizons’. Voted ‘No.1 Monthly Cruise Magazine’ by all Leading Cruise Lines, ‘Blue Horizons’ is a visually appealing magazine covering the latest news and best cruise offers of that month on behalf of ROL Cruise, which was the most respected and highly valued client of the company. With each issue, I was required to create a unique look and feel for readers, ensuring the cruises for sale are advertised in an innovative, exciting and relevant way. With each issue, I received a detailed analysis of consumer results and witnessed figures for bookings increase, as well as more customers subscribing, which was the ultimate goal and one in which I achieved, much to the delight of my employer and of course the client. I consider this to be a key achievement.
