While at Phanteks I took on the role of Graphic Designer, a position which focused mainly on maintaining brand consistency, supporting the product designers and the marketing team with visual design material.The tasks which I was responsible for included creating artwork for web use in the RGB colourspace (web banners, press releases, animated GIFs and small amounts of video editing), helping to create material tradeshows, web design (planning layouts, editing HTML & CSS within a shopify template), maintaining a level of brand design consistency across all platforms and creating packaging artwork for wide-spread distribution within the CMYK colourspace.I utilized skills involving the use of programs like Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop within my position across all tasks I was responsible for, but also incorporated time management, multitasking, HTML & CSS knowledge, communication both written and verbal and innovative thinking.With such a welcoming and friendly working environment, the experience at Phanteks had been full of surprises, fun, opportunities and challenges. I felt I was challenged appropriately with the tasks presented and have learned a great deal about product design, print design and teamwork from this experience.

As a way to expand my design abilities by doing varied design projects, I established myself a graphic design freelancer. Time management, organising projects & learning to seek out work are all skills that have been sharpened since establishing myself as a freelancer. I have met many great people since making this decision and have worked on a few collaborative projects, all of which involved a high amount of communication and patience.

As a Strategic Design Intern at Yex B.V. I supported the marketing and design team which included artwork for trade show events, website material and artwork for packaging. In this position I had made close connections and learned a great deal about a different area of design outside my usual design experience.During my time in this position, my responsibilities involved producing packaging artwork which fit seamlessly onto a provided die-cut, supporting with planning and production of event and tradeshow event materials, Fliers, communicating with international farmers and making sure the farmers which I was in contact with printed and produced the right colour boxes in accordance with the Yex brand guidelines.These tasks required the use of skills such as the use of Illustrator for artwork and packaging design, InDesign for fliers and structure, coordinated communication as part of working with other teams, pitching ideas, creating physical prototypes as proof of concept and a good sense of humor.Working with everyone at Yex was an exciting, interesting and quick-paced experience which I relished and enjoyed. I learned much and expanded my knowledge on how how vastly different each design discipline can be when shaped by a project's context.
