In my current role I have enjoyed many opportunities, particularly the travel aspect of the job and exploring the different facets that make up the design lifecycle. I enjoy working to a brief and meeting the requirements of different customers.
Jane Shilton is a small family-run business, making for a friendly, driven environment to work within and also allowing opportunity to get involved in tasks that I may have not necessarily been involved in. I enjoy working on the social media side of the company, for example, and attending the campaign photoshoots.
