Initially I joined UYR as a local level Graphic Designer having been noticed for the work I was doing with Barflya. During my time here my design abilities have gone from strength to strength allowing me to play an integral part in the growth of the company. This in turn allowed me to head up projects for some of our major clients within my first 6 months and consequently, lead to me being offered the role of Studio Manager at the start of the year. As Studio Manager, I oversee all projects within the leisure side of the business as well as managing and delegating the day to day local level work load for the designers within my team. Working closely with the marketing teams of the likes of Luminar Leisure, Intertain, Atmosphere Bars and Clubs, Stonegate and No Saints has allowed me to gain an insight into the other side of the coin so to speak. I now further understand the marketing techniques and sales drivers which are implemented throughout the campaigns we produce allowing me to design with interpretation and the way it works in mind, not just aesthetics.Key Strengths: Studio Management, Print Production, Art Direction, Graphic Design, Typography, Image Manipulation and Branding & Identity.

Worked as part of a small team of designers working on local level projects for leisure companies in the area.
