I'm currently working in a corporate environment designing digital assets for the NHS, but after an excellent year here with national exposure - I feel I'm ready for the next step and there just isn't that here for me anymore.
My total amount of experience amounts to 2-3 years considering all of the internships, freelance work and projects I've taken on over the years. Whilst I only graduated a year ago - I'm a highly experienced and skilled individual with the drive for success.
An example of producing design work from initial concepts is my start up business, Veri Beri Candles. I began this project at University initially just to demonstrate my branding skills, however 1 year on this is now an upcoming local business. I had a vision to start my own business no matter how small the idea was, and I've successfully managed to take it to the stage it is at now. I design and create all the candles myself - & have continued to do this whilst studying and then maintaining a full time job which highlights just how motivated and hard working I am.
Through out all my jobs I've had to have excellent communication skills reflecting different messages through design. For example - at NHS Blood and Transplant our key idea for Social assets which I create is to encourage our following to donate blood or join the organ donor register. Due to the nature of the company, these have to be handled with care, consideration and sympathy at times which I've handled single handedly as the only Digital Artworker in NHSBT. This includes campaign work from Sign for Life, Winter Campaign, Get Your Blood pumping etc.
Presentation skills I have mainly from previous jobs over my current position. For Nexpaq, a start up company in Hong Kong there was a lot of presentation work for pitches to potential investors which makes me an experienced designer for KeyNote & Powerpoint. This also includes print based presentations such as billboards, banners, posters etc which are used for advertising. Veri Beri Candles has also helped enhance my confidence to pitch forward ideas and encourage various stores to sell my product. The 3 programmes I use on a day to day basis are Illustrator, Indesign and my personal favourite, Photoshop. I've been fluent in these for the past 5 years however with technology constantly progressing there is always new things I'm learning within them.
Whilst the last year I've mainly consisted in Digital work, I've spent a lot of my time at University, my business, freelancing and previous jobs working on print based designs.
Overall, I possess all the skills needed to meet your needs and have a unique flare most other designers don't have. I'm very hard working, motivated, and constantly looking to improve myself which benefits the company I'm working for in the long run.
