What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead creative projects, mentor junior designers, and contribute to innovative design solutions in a collaborative environment.

With over a decade of experience in graphic design, I have honed my skills in producing impactful digital and print work using Adobe Creative Suite. My journey has taken me from being the first in-house designer at Castle Arts to leading a team of junior designers at EMJ London. I pride myself on my ability to take design projects from concept to completion, ensuring that each piece not only meets but exceeds client expectations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed projects worth over £6 million, demonstrating my capability to drive new and repeat business. My leadership skills have been recognized through awards such as Designer of the Year, and I have a proven track record of mentoring junior designers, fostering their growth and creativity. I am passionate about creating designs that resonate with audiences and contribute to the success of the brands I work with.
