About me

I am a digital project manager with 4 years of experience working in Digital production and am now looking to move back into the luxury retail sector to focus on creative project management and production. I have previously worked for Selfridges and Arcadia with experience managing creative projects and the workflow of the creative teams. I have a strong understanding of the design process having had experience working in Photoshop and InDesign, meaning I am able to effectively prioritise and utilise resources, advise and contribute to briefing and concepting sessions and am experienced in improving processes to increase productivity. Currently I am a Digital Producer at OLIVER agency, working solely on their BMW account. I manage the workflow for a team of content producers, designers, copywriters and developers. Whilst I have enjoyed working in a new industry I now know I want to focus my career in a creative team.
