Work history
    Graphic Designer
    My role as lead graphic designer for the marketing team at Frontier has given me the opportunity to have worked on a multitude of different projects and platforms simultaneously. I have designed, art directed, project managed and sourced on a broad range of projects from Advertisement, APP design, Brand development, Web & Store design, User Interface, Promotional Material and Merchandise. My day-to-day tasks involve liaising and collaborating with directors/senior designers on projects, providing art and creative direction to the marketing team, crafting ideas and solutions for new projects within my own and external teams, managing multiple projects at once while being fluid when it comes to shifting priorities, working to short and changeable deadlines. Frontier Developments are a games company who work with top publishers as well as self-publishing their own titles and develop high quality, innovative games of different genres across all major gaming formats – I have had the privilege of working on such beautiful and variety of games such as Elite: Dangerous, ScreamRide, Tales from Deep Space and now Planet Coaster. A few ‘stand-out’ achievements to date for me would be the creation and management of the Elite: Dangerous game companion APP from concept to completion and the artwork of the original soundtrack to the game. I am also particularly proud of the logo design and promotional marketing material for the game launch event and the entire stand/event design for Gamescom 2015.
