About me - My story

I have been a Digital and graphic designer for many years. My experience varies from agency to in-house positions and my skills range have advanced from being a graphic designer for print to a web designer to creating assets for all online mediums. I also have HTML/CSS knowledge bringing the bridge closer between design and development for websites.

Originally from London I started out as a graphic designer working for a magazine publishing company (UK Distribution) creating magazine segments as well as creating and developing websites for newly published magazines and updating their online store.

I then moved onto an agency (GIMO) that specialises in sport books and online gambling a production house. Where I was responsible for creating online and offline marketing materials including UX/UI design for re-branding websites to give them a more modern feel and easy to use for consumers.

More recently within the last few years at my employment at Wiggle I have become more aware about branding and the importance of design consistency as well as being able to follow brand guidelines and improving them, an example is going through the re-brand process through Wiggle twice helping change and fix the customer proposition to tackle the demand for specific consumer needs and keeping up with modern day trends.

Other responsibilities at Wiggle included maintaining their email marketing schedule (BAU) as well as any website updates and creating social and affiliate assets for certain campaigns. Some OOH design was created also.

I can time manage my work load and collaborate with team members well including working closely with key stakeholders or senior management to get a specific task or brief complete.

To keep the synergy together I would collaborate with the wider marketing team an example of this is working closely with CRM e-mail team at Wiggle making sure that the designs originally built translate to how it is presented when consumers receive it in their inbox.

Every company has their own way of working, the main pattern I found was looking at how they work and see where there are opportunities to make the process efficient whilst maintaining that quality assurance check to deliver a project or task to the best of my ability and on time. Also using this method enables me to handle different projects at the same time.

With regards to keeping up to latest trends my main idea is to try and be as unique in every design that I do to keep out of the sea of sameness and my main goal for working with companies is to improve brand awareness and help business growth.
