24 years old, BA (Hons) in Design & Colour Technology.

​

After studying Colour & Design Technology; the only course of its kind in the world, I gained historical, theoretical and contextual knowledge of design and the colour technologies used in today's design world.

 

In starting my own freelance design & marketing company 'Love My Logo' I gained first hand experience into the design world and to what clients expect specifically from a designer. Working to briefs, deadlines and meeting client expectations, I have worked on a variety of different designs for various companies around West Yorkshire.

 

During my second year at University I started an internship as a Junior Designer at MYA Cosmetic Surgery, which then developed into a part time job after the internship finished. I received experience in working in many major design & marketing campaigns including photo shoots, celebrities and the X Factor Teeth Whitening campaign.

 

After graduating from University I became a Graphic Designer & Digital Marketing Assistant at ERE Property. During my time there I learnt about all things digital, whether email-marketing, website or print media based campaigns. As well as the digital side of things I was heavily involved in setting the brand guidelines. I set what I thought would work for a property investment company taking into account the clientele and nature of this industry.

​

A year on I was promoted to Design & Brand Manager. I was now in charge of designing and creating email campaigns from start to finish, signing off collateral and also taking part in trade shows as well as managing an assistant.

​

I then started my agency experience at Us&Them Ideas, this is where I learnt the basis of how an agency works. Us&Them is a small agency compared to the bigger ones but they have a lot of clients including Poundland - one of their biggest. As it's small we are required to also account manage and artwork, in doing this I have learnt crucial art working skills and can proof my designs before sign off or print. The work varies from POS to web to TV - all of which I have been heavily involved in. Again been a smaller agency I have had a massive input in the design stage and mostly get to develop the concepts myself working with both the client and Creative Director who trust me to do so.
