About me

My background in design and interest in pr and marketing has evolved - through varied invaluable experiences - into a distinct passion for the communication of creativity. I'm now actively seeking new opportunities to work with businesses, studios, or individuals within the creative industry.

Feb 2021Brighton, United KingdomFreelance
Motivated by the uncertainty of the pandemic at the start of 2021, I decided to find a productive way to channel my passion while utilizing my skill set, leading to the launch of my illustration business on Instagram. (@monomarks_) I create one of a kind, monochrome designs which are bespoke and drawn by hand.

junior studio managerenvisions designlab
Nov 2019 - Nov 2020Eindhoven, NetherlandsFreelance
I enjoyed juggling my studio manager responsibilities alongside my pr & communications role, which helped me gain invaluable insights and knowledge of how to run the 'inside' of a design studio, while continuing to plan and create content to share on the 'outside'. From office administration, finances, funding applications, project planning & organisation, event & exhibition logistics, recruitment, and more - while also ensuring there was always enough tea and biscuits on hand for the team! I solidified enthusiastic and rewarding relationships with our designers, clients and partners, as I became their main point of contact. With this also came the opportunity to join critical meetings, where I could share my opinions regarding new or developing projects and ideas. During my time as studio manager I also learnt how to adapt and persevere throughout the complicated circumstances that came about due to the coronavirus pandemic. While working remotely for over 3 months I enjoyed learning new ways to support and mentor our team. A key achievement was collaborating with our Project Manager to coordinate our first fully digital event & live streamed performance for Dutch Design Week 2020, ‘Envisions Hackathon’.
