The vast majority of my work has been done at prestigious agencies and design studios but I also work on my own solo projects.

Suite 301, 2Nd Floor, The Nexus Building, Letchworth Garden City Sg6 3Ta

Working remotely for the agency’s multitude of pharmaceutical clients. The majority of work was digital but was very varied. From storyboarding animations to helping build a new training app (which went on to be award winning). I also built microsites, created infographics, set up large interactive powerpoint training presentations and created sometimes quite large campaigns of web ads. As well as progressing projects through rounds of amends, cleaning up client powerpoint presentations and polishing agency pitch documents.Occasionally there was a piece, such as a brochure, that would also be going to print and these had to be made to work equally well as both print and digital.

Working across all of Clarity’s wide range of prestigious clients to ensure the highest levels of both creative quality and accuracy. The work covers a wide range of formats for print from brochures and menus right up to extremely large format exhibition work. While digitally, working on small single digital assets right up to setting up suites of related websites. Due to the high number of clients that have regular photoshoots, a lot of the work requires a high level of retouching skill.I also managed and instructed the freelance resource that would be brought in during extremely busy periods.

Continuously contracting at BBH. Assigned almost exclusively to their Whitbread pub restaurants work. Usually taking up and running design work and making adjustments to it until client’s approval was attained. From straightforward artworking through to layout changes to reworking the design at the client’s request. Then creating all the other print items in the same campaign to match and taking them all to print ready artwork. Usually just for items for print but in 2012, created every digital asset from scratch, for all the Christmas related elements on three of Whitbread's restaurant brands' websites.

Freelancing at eMC Design, a design agency specialising in educational publishing. Their clients include Cambridge and Oxford University Presses, Pearson and Macmillan. My duties included setting up books from clients’ multiple manuscripts. Designing and laying out pages incorporating commissioned artwork and photos, taken to a first proof stage prints and PDFs. Making all necessary layout and design changes as well as making all marked up corrections through multiple proof stages and taking finished books to print ready artwork. Due to the nature of this work, deadlines were thick and fast, so everything had to be done with a very efficient workflow.
