Creative graphic designer with a passion for impactful visual storytelling.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly creative and detail-oriented BA Graphic Design graduate with five years of graphic design experience. My proficiency in key design software, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate, allows me to craft visually engaging designs that effectively communicate brand identity and messaging. I pride myself on my ability to translate client needs into compelling, on-brand designs, ensuring that every project resonates with its target audience.
Throughout my career, I have led various successful projects, including the redesign of the Anderton Center’s website and a sepsis awareness campaign for the NHS. These initiatives not only modernized visual presence but also significantly improved user engagement and awareness. My strong foundation in illustration and marketing design, combined with my commitment to staying updated on emerging trends, enables me to deliver fresh and relevant work that exceeds client expectations.
I thrive in collaborative environments and have experience in project management and leadership roles, where I coordinate timelines and bring creative visions to life efficiently. I am eager to contribute my skills and innovative ideas to a dynamic team that values creativity and impactful design.
