In this diverse and dynamic role within UKSS, I served in the design and production department, bringing my skills to bear on several key facets of the operation. My responsibilities ranged from graphic design, adapting and creating visuals for a broad array of products, to the technical preparation of files for Direct to Garment (DTG) printing, ensuring quality and efficiency in production. Additionally, I managed the printing machine operation, optimising processes and maintaining a high work pace. My versatility extended into the realm of product photography, where I digitised the printed products, enhancing the catalogue and marketing materials. This experience has afforded me a deep understanding of graphic production from conception to final realisation, highlighting my ability to adapt and excel in a varied and challenging work environment.
