What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a creative environment that values innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to exciting projects and grow my design skills.

I'm Olivia Goodman, a dedicated graphic designer with a strong background in creating impactful 2D retail designs. Currently, I work at Design4Retail, where I manage multiple projects from concept to delivery, ensuring brand consistency and visual quality. My experience includes collaborating with clients and creative teams to refine concepts based on feedback, all while staying updated on the latest design trends.

Previously, I worked as a Graphic Designer for an international recruitment business, where I successfully rebranded three of their brands and managed client needs effectively. My role involved designing client-facing sales reports and pitch decks, showcasing my ability to communicate complex ideas through engaging visuals. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Communications and Illustration from Loughborough University, which has equipped me with the skills to excel in fast-paced environments.
