I have been Lead Designer in the Marketing Team at Digital Space since February 2021.Reporting to the Chief Marketing Officer, my duties at the company are to lead our Design team and to oversee all creative assets in order to help Digital Space position itself to be a leading and highly competitive technology company, which enables our customers to have a connected, productive and secure space.I now manage a small team - working closely with our Designer to develop Digital Space's brand. I have been developing more skills in mentoring and people management, scheduling weekly priority calls, working with the team to get the best out of ourselves in our working week, as well as pushing the boundaries further in all that is design. This role was also started during the process of the company rebranding itself (from Timico to Digital Space), another interesting journey I have never experienced up until now.With the role change there have been more higher level projects, many rebrand projects, more decision making on creative assets, further emphasis on lead generation methodology and increased duties on how Digital Space presents itself visually to the outside world.It was interesting to take on this role during the Covid-19 pandemic, in a world where more people have started to adapt to hybrid ways of working. At Digital Space, I have been going in the office when the team is in, combined with working from home (Quite a contrast from before the pandemic hit, when we would work 5 days in the office). As the world adjusted, I experienced a shift to Digital Design - however, as more companies emerge from the pandemic and find flexible ways of doing business as usual, it's been exciting to design the company's Business Cards, Jersey Designs and large event banners again, which goes to show that print design still stands strong!I am enjoying the opportunity to get the very best out of the Digital Space brand, while learning more new skills along the way.

Digital Space (formerly Timico) is an Information Technology Managed Services provider. When my role became designer in 2015, I took on a wide range of projects and reported to the Creative Manager, who I assisted with the creation of all our design assets, which were used widely across the company - both internally and externally to customers.The role included design work for the website, promotional adverts, campaigns, datasheets, whitepapers, email designs, word documents, powerpoint presentations, video production and editing, social media graphics, exhibition stands, internal design work for company portals, company diagrams and more.In the 7 years of my Designer role, I gained a lot of design experience and also a lot of experience in terms of working with different people. I developed further skills with isometric design and gradually took ownership of bigger projects.It was great to visually explore the art of the possible and to also produce visuals at a faster pace. With 7 years also comes a lot of change, so it was great to work with new people and to increase my teamwork skills, which led to more effective ways of completing work and managing deadlines. From starting out as a Junior Designer in 2014, I saw the company go through a massive evolution - and many different visual styles were explored on the website and on social media.During my time at the company, I was effectively working on 2 different brands - Timico (the old name) and Digital Space. This made our projects very varied and exciting - and led to a comprehensive portfolio of visual work.I was in this role until February 2021, when I was promoted to Lead Designer.

On joining Digital Space I was quickly involved on projects; and at a Junior level I enjoyed every opportunity to inject creativity into the brand. I learnt more skills in HTML and Email Design, helped on graphics for the company website and company diagrams and loved to learn a bit more about the IT industry.I gradually eased my way into the company over time, implementing more of the visual styles I was more familiar with, while having fun along the way too.

Timico and Digital Space are the same organisation. Timico was the previous company name for Digital Space until June 2021.

All the design work done in this role was for Wilko packaging - from Houseware and Pet products, to DIY, Cleaning and Decorating (and more). There were opportunities to be creative and develop concepts, however there were also strict brand guidelines to adhere to on all of Wilko’s packaging and designs. Artwork would be proofed to wider members of the Wilko team, before they were approved and then released worldwide.I worked here for around 1 year as their Junior Packaging Designer. This was my first full time role, where I would commute each day and work full time in their office.

Quickfire was a second job and part time internship while being at Waitrose to gain valuable commercial design experience. This vacancy was very important to have alongside my portfolio in order to learn how an agency works in contrast to the needs of its clients - and how artworking is approached and managed. It was also useful to learn unfamiliar ways of problem solving and useful to put new prospects into regular practise and gain the relevant side prior to University of practical experience. It is important for designers to learn this adaptability once being in a fast environment and projects are completed with a rapid, effective turnover.Many of the projects included changes to designs, manipulating imagery, coming up with ideas for layouts, resizing adverts and other work that ranged from something creative or something more technical.

Assisting and serving customers, till work, display Work, general shop work including counting and stock estimating, product presentation etc. Full training was given for this position and tests were taken on an ongoing basis, both on shop premises and in the form of computer training.Although Waitrose was not directly in the field of design, I learnt many valuable things while being there and it was great to develop other skills that are not necessarily associated to graphic design.
