A highly dedicated and hard-working Creative Designer with over 10 years of experience working within the design industry. Having worked predominantly across the luxury sector, I pride myself on my ability to adapt to different industries and styles working well with clients whilst striving to deliver the best solutions to even the most complex projects.
My creative drive and logically minded attitude means that I have the ability to apply a hands-on approach to the entire creative process, whilst always keeping the end goal and audience in mind.
I have experience managing teams, as well as working to tight deadlines in incredibly fast paced environments on a day-to-day basis. I am confident presenting my ideas and liaising with internal and external resources to ensure the best results are always achieved.
