About me

To progress in my career I am seeking a Senior, Deputy or Art Director role. For the past seven years I have been working as a senior designer at The Sunday Times newspaper. In my role on the Culture magazine, I art directed the music section and cover designs as well as assisting my Art Director on the rest of the magazine. I enjoyed working closely with the editor to strict weekly deadlines, and being responsible for sending the magazine to press unaided on many occasions. The next step for me would be a position in which I can further develop my design, organisation and management skills, with the aim of leading a strong creative team to reach exciting concepts
