I took a career break to study a masters in a subject I am passionate about (Gender Studies, Goldsmiths - Merit). I worked for Refuge in front line services during my studies - starting as a volunteer on the National Domestic Violence Helpline, through to paid employment supporting survivors in statutory settings and in refuges. I also went travelling and spent three months in South East Asia.

Working on the Tesco account, I produced the highly successful #PullACracker Christmas Twitter campaign.

Working for the Automotive account, I project managed the delivery of digital and film content for autoshows for brands such as Jaguar Land Rover, Rolls Royce and Mazda. I have been involved in large-scale projects from inception through to delivery – scoping through to budget reconciliation. A highlight of working here has been project managing an exciting research and development program based around 3D tracking of moving objects.To coincide with the launch of the All Wheel Drive for Jaguar I was tasked with producing an engaging and innovative display for the Moscow Auto Show. We showcased a life-size Jaguar chassis with moving parts, built on an animating LED bed, with an interactive touchscreen. Please see video below, 1:01 onwards

In this role I was a client-facing producer, managing various projects across many brands. The bulk of my work was centred around animations, email templates, site updates and building a number of theme-based webpages to sit online and across mobile. I was heavily involved in a number of Help and Support videos for Orange’s YouTube channel. My main duties included creating production schedules, budgeting, asset collation, script management and ensuring all client feedback arrived on time and was dealt with accordingly. Due to the small nature of the business, I was fully involved in all aspects of the projects, right through from brainstorming, to reviews - and I relished the creative challenge. We ran a number of smaller internal projects, which I was responsible for managing on a day-to-day basis.

Whilst at Wieden + Kennedy I have had autonomy over one main client, the Guardian. Running production day-to-day, I have prepared timing plans, estimates and handled my own budgets of up to 20k. I have solely produced online banner campaigns, emails and digital out of home for the transport network. Working with third party suppliers and in-house resource I have ensured projects are delivered on time, and to budget. I have supported senior producers on many other projects across different brands. In addition to this role I have looked after interactive resource and scheduling. I am also responsible for discovering and arranging meetings with new suppliers.My most exciting and truly interactive project I have worked on was for Coke with Maroon 5. We were locked in a studio for 24 hours, while Maroon 5 promised to write and record a crowd-sourced song. I was responsible for moderating the twitter feed from fans and compiling content to appear on an interactive wall, with which the band could play with. All of this was being streamed live across the world. Amazingly we reached over 120 countries.

Working as a Production Assistant for the Ford team I have helped deliver on some of the companies biggest Auto Shows, including Paris, Sydney and LA.My main role has been supporting the project manager to help co-ordinate the team, organising resources and managing any outside companies working on the projects. I have shadowed brief-writing and budgeting for individual projects, as well as preparing the deliverables documentation for the entire Ford show. The work produced included brand films, digital content for an LED wall, individual interactives such as in-car experiences, touch screen kiosks and games.I have produced small-scale projects for the shows that have included a brand-related quiz for two separate kiosks and an interactive game.For the foreign language shows such as Paris I was solely responsible for ensuring that all copy was translated into French, proofed and on-brand.I also organised the logistics for shoots and installs, which included budgeting flights, expenses, organising hotels, and making sure all the team were briefed for onsite work.

Working for two clients, Ferrari and Shell, I was part of a small team that produced twelve touch screens and an augmented reality experience for the Ferrari museum in Maranello. The piece was divided up into four sections, each containing four pieces of content (sixteen in total). The content was made-up of animations, slideshows and moving footage. I was solely responsible for asset collation and management - collecting assets from a wide range of sources, clearing copyright and helping find reference for the design team. I worked closely with the client and the copywriter to decide the story we wanted to tell and to decide the visual imagery that would support this. As the job progressed I managed the project on a day-to-day basis, guaranteeing resources, securing feedback and amends were implemented and ensuring quality assurance. I was there for the install of the project and arranged the documentation in advance of the official handover.After the first phase of the project I was completely responsible for managing the transformation of the job into something Shell could use for their Global Exhibition Program. This meant adding new content, a re-design of the menu screen and a re-alignment of the content.Day-to-day I attended client meetings, produced schedules, and production documents. Additionally I was also involved in casting for voice-overs, editing sound clips, arranging and minuting meetings, FTP management, editorial duties, basic xml amends, subtitling and testing.At the end of the project I helped archive the work files and produced a case study.This project won BIMA Best Content 2010

Working for the Natural History Museum, I was part of a small team that produced 16 interactives for the Darwin Centre. These interactives included touch screen technology and short films. The content had an educational theme, but was displayed through games, informative films and interactive interfaces, all built in flash. As a production assistant I was heavily involved in all areas of production, working closely with the museum's interpretation team, collating assets, managing feedback and making sure all amends were implemented. I created productions documents and managed the schedule on a weekly basis. Additionally, I assisted with budgeting, pre and post-production for a film shoot, and interviewing interns. I worked closely with the Flash developers to integrate content, and ensure QA. I was heavily involved in the testing and installation process and wrote the operations and maintenance manuals for all sixteen interactives.

Interning for a record label, I was involved in marketing and promoting artist releases through social media sites such as facebook, myspace, bebo and don't stay in. I was also responsible for placing banners the design team had made onto websites, and managing the community websites. I documented and followed up artist's publicity on the web, and archived any press.
