Joining the Natural Spa Factory as their first designer meant I built up the brand from the beginning. I designed the whole retail range from scratch, expanded it and developed it all within a tight, low run budget. I have become a label specialist in fact I dream in self adhesive.Along side the NSF brand I created designs for Private Label clients and I learnt a lot about the production side of getting a product on shelf. It's more than just taking a bottle, filling it with product and applying a label.Other parts of my role were creating marketing and sales support for the team, designing the exhibition stands, website graphics and anything else to communicate the brand.
