About me

Hi I’m Francesca and this is what I’m all about… I’m an energetic creative student and typographic enthusiast with an adventurous approach to design. With both in house and agency experience. My strengths lie in graphic design, social media content creation, photography, branding and motion design. I’m fascinated by everything pop culture, sci-fi films and new technology. I specifically love Marvel films, yes even Thor The Dark World, Ari Aster Horrors and anything from the 80s. My co-workers would describe me as approachable, positive and a relentless creative. I have experience working collaboratively in teams that work in tandem with design, social, data, marketing and strategy. I LOVE finding new ways to tell stories creatively through social media trends and upcoming technology. I’m eager to bring unique perspectives to a team. ☕️ I’m also from Manchester, so I make a great brew.

Junior CreativeRise at Seven
Sep 2020 - Jun 2021Sheffield, United KingdomInternship
At Rise at Seven I worked on a variety of projects for clients such as Made.com, Play Station, GoCompare and Dojo creating mostly data-led campaigns. Additionally, as Rise at Seven was only a start-up at the time, I helped with a lot of internal branding projects, with small motion design tasks, merch design, social media content, pitch slide decks and landing pages. I was a highly trusted and versicle member of the creative team, trusted to deliver to tight deadlines. I worked in a continuously growing team that went from 4 – 12 in the ten months I was there. One of my favourite bits of praise from my time there was that I ‘set the bar for interns’.
