Having achieved Adobe visual design specialist status (Illustrator and Indesign and Photoshop), with an 8 year background in graphics design culminating in a degree, I have a very broad experience level ranging from web design through to brand identity. Using my skill set I enjoy developing design ideas through to finished online artwork and printed media.
My work experience has allowed me to develop an interesting online portfolio through my association with Italian and Spanish lighting companies. This involves product marketing, corporate presentation, brand identity, event marketing and associated media.

Work history
In-house Graphic Designer
- Internship
Took on the experience of working as an Intern for the companies marketing team, and I was commissioned to design all the promotional material for their upcoming event Light Pollination. Held in the London Design Festival, Kensington. The installation in question designed by Universal Assembly Unit, was created using thousands of fibre optic cables attached directly to the LEDs of a de-glassed monitor screen, with each optic encased in PVC tubing and sensors positioned throughout the installation to create an interactive light display.
In the 2 months I was working there, the marketing team also asked me to create iGuzzini company leaflets to hand out to employees for training days, along with managing their social media platform leading to the promotional material for Light Pollination.
Other factors of my experience including meeting with the marketing manager of Kensington Underground Station, where we were interested in purchasing some billboard advertising space to display our Light Pollination event posters.
