About

I’m a Senior Designer with 11+ years of experience in the industry, specialising in brand communications. I’ve been at both a smaller, independent studio of six, and a larger London agency of 80+, so have a range of experience working for start-up businesses, to global corporations, and everything else in between!

Having been based in London for the past five years, I’ve recently relocated to Cardiff and am now open to new opportunities.

Experience

Conran Design Group | London | 2018 - Date
Since the middle of 2018, I’ve been working as a designer at Havas-owned Conran Design Group in London. This gave me the opportunity to work in a much bigger studio - with bigger, global clients, working in teams and having dedicated project management, production and strategic support. I’ve thrived in this environment and it’s given me a different point of view on design, having been able to work on different kinds of projects to that of earlier in my career.

Wearebeard | Worcester | 2012 - 2018
With this being my first full-time design position, my learning curve was through the roof. I was able to cut my teeth doing bit of everything - managing my own projects, liaising with clients, artworking my own designs and generally be a fundamental part of a very small team. Being in a smaller studio and having experience in all of the above was incredibly important in setting me up for the rest of my career.
