What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and collaboration, with opportunities for growth in a supportive environment.

Hi, I’m Pip! I am a creative living in Manchester, UK, who specializes in Graphic Design, Retail, and the outdoors. My passions include rock climbing, surfing, and mountainboarding, and I am a natural problem solver. Being part of the Marketing and Design team at Passenger was a fulfilling role where I worked as their Graphic Designer, Visual Merchandiser, and Social Media designer. This role allowed me to create visual displays for retailers, print and digital designs for socials, festival events, and apparel design, building a vast skill set in retail and outdoor spaces.

During my time at Passenger, I improved email marketing campaign effectiveness by increasing deliverability rates by 65.8% and worked on numerous campaigns that boosted visibility for the brand and benefited our partners committed to planting trees and protecting the environment. My previous experience as a Sales Assistant at Dr. Martens helped me develop excellent customer service and visual merchandising skills, where I frequently became the highest seller in our store.

With a First Class Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Manchester Metropolitan University, I have developed in-depth knowledge of the technical skills needed to produce quality, industry-standard work. I am constantly inspired by my network of talented designers and artists, and I find joy in being creative and learning from them daily.
