Hi! I’m LJ.
Having decided to move on from my career in high-end hospitality and events and make the move to London, an interview for a job as a PA luckily turned into an interview for a creative coordinator role in a food and beverage company in West London. And so my buried creative side was reignited.
6 years later I’ve never looked back and design is my focus now.
I’m a fast learner and am successfully self-taught, always looking for the next skill to master. I believe that being an effective listener and communicator is so important within the design process and really understanding your clients’ requirements and expectations is paramount. I find deciphering and diving into a new brief the most exciting part of what I do. That, and completing a project with an end product that makes a difference to the client and that I can be personally proud of too!
The majority of my design experience has been in house, working in sales and marketing environments, creating winning bid submissions in highly competitive processes, visually representing companies’ brands ensuring they stand out amongst others. A number of companies have taken my bid document designs as inspo for their own teams.
I’m from the Isle of Wight and have now been working and living in London for 6 years.
