About me

I'm a Graphic Designer specialising in Print, Brand and Digital, with substantial experience in the Football & Sport Industry. I have provided Creative Direction on a small number of large scale projects in my previous roles, while also providing this on a collaborative basis on many others. I'm a keen writer and researcher within the Arts field; winning the Student of the Year Award at Carmarthen School of Art for Dissertation writing. In addition to this, I was successful in proving my practical abilities as a Graphic Designer by winning Gold in WorldSkillsUK, Wales, in 2017. Following my departure from Swansea City AFC, I now currently live and work in Bristol as a Freelance Graphic Designer, however still open to new opportunities.

Oct 2017 - Jul 2019Swansea, United KingdomFull Time
Initially starting on a Short-Term, Part-Time contract, the first few months of employment were spent assisting the Senior Graphic Designer with current projects and realising pre-existing concepts, whilst always adhering to the branding guidelines. On completion of my Part-Time Contract, I transitioned to a Full-Time role, which allowed me to direct large-scale projects, taking them from concept to completion, as well as collaborating with the Lead Designer on projects such as ‘JACK MAGAZINE’ (Official Matchday Programme of Swansea City AFC). Other duties included sourcing print solutions that offered both a desired quality and a price within a specified budget, communicating and rationalising work with both internal and external clients, and guiding the Junior Graphic Designer in their projects; ensuring their work was legible, of standard, and adhered to the Swansea City Branding Guidelines.
