I was the sole designer, creating the artwork and adding the motion to the graphics. "Natalie is a very talented designer, she was flexible to our needs. She listened and translated what we required seemlessly. I recommend Natalie to any company looking for graphics and 3D design." - Daniel E

Head Designer & Senior Manager
-
Eclipse Presentations is a creative staging and technical production company that specialises in awards, conferences, launches and other staged productions.
As head designer I provided leadership, guidance and support to the design team. I ensured the studio ran in a highly productive manner and that all projects were delivered with exceptional quality, originality and creativity. I had a strong overview of all design projects in the company, maintaining regular production schedules, ensuring all projects are fully resourced and deadlines were met. I was the lead person in charge of developing the studio on every level including constructing a business plan, refurbishment of the space and refreshing the companies brand identity. I participated as the senior manager to the department, developing both the short and long term needs of the business through an understanding of strategies and tactical requirements, company processes and procedures; to support the growth of the company. I regularly dealt with my own clients, building and nurturing the relationship. I was involved in all of the client stages from the initial briefing meetings to invoicing and accounts.
I have extensive experience working as the lead designer using my initiative and creativity to develop motion graphics, animations, advanced presentations, staging and print work across a range of styles and environments. I have experience working abroad, to places including New York and Singapore fulfilling my role as a on-site designer. I have the ability to work in a fast paced environment; multitasking and prioritising sensibly with an organised and efficient approach to tasks; whilst maintaining an extremely high standard of work.
