About me
Backed by my graduation from Shillington College, I am proficient in Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Sketch, with skills in both print and digital work. The projects I have worked on include editorial, packaging, posters, brand identity, website, mobile and app design. Within the digital projects, I am proficient at developing personas, user journey mapping and wireframing. I have 3 years experience at a creative agency – running UX workshops, producing campaigns (print and digital) for the agencies largest account, being part of the team that launched the first AI website in the pharmaceuticals industry, producing and assisting on photoshoots, and more. Unusually...this was all as a senior account manager. Since day one in the agency, I always included myself in the creative discussions – brainstorming with the art directors, critiquing work with the creative director – basically trying to squeeze myself into their world. This creative drive eventually led me to Shillington college. Having done Art A-level, I always knew I would make my way into a creative career...I just took the long way round! In my spare time, I regularly attend life drawing classes in South London in an attempt to keep my drawing eye sharp! In the studio, I always try to start my projects with pen and paper first, and then transfer my ideas to screen.
