What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead retail design and visual merchandising work that turns commercial goals into impactful, customer-focused store experiences, seasonal launches and new-format concepts.

I'm developing, designing and testing seasonal approaches for new IKEA UKIE store formats, creating visual merchandising manuals, campaign identities and retail concepts for three annual launches.

Across IKEA UK, Ireland and global markets, I've led launch implementation, seasonal shops including Christmas and Outdoor Shop, and customer-focused layout optimisation based on stock, flow and feedback. I've also contributed to store builds, press events and global retail direction.

Earlier, I led visual merchandising at Dobbies Garden Centre and designed product ranges, brand identities and e-commerce imagery at Colour Printing Solutions. I bring a fashion design background alongside Adobe Creative Suite, Revit and SketchUp skills.
