About me

I am currently based in Dusseldorf, Germany, working as Graphic designer/Designer in the Clockhouse girls division of C&A Europe. My role here revolves around creating placement and all over graphics for jersey garments. As well as focussing on the Graphic aspect of design, I also choose the shapes and design details to ensure a strong, on trend, commercial final product is created. This role has also provided me with the opportunity to work in an international office where people converse in German, Spanish and English.
