Following my graduation, I have been proactively utilising my design expertise by taking a senior volunteer role with a charity. This has allowed me to further my experience & demonstrate structured design principles by leading on the creation of infographics, presentation slides and consistent branding templates.

Utilising Adobe InDesign and Illustrator, I have become adept in incorporating traditional design elements with modern concepts for various card types. This experience enhanced my proficiency with these applications and provided insights into ethically relevant design. Additionally, I have explored the use of various printing techniques.

Mentorship over a year with Ana Grigorovici, an accomplished freelance graphic designer with expertise in brand designing. Through close collaboration, I was able to build on my knowledge in the client briefing and initial design planning stages. This allowed me to proactively experience the translation of client design requirements into initial proposals illustrating potential design ideas.

I worked as a volunteer photographer for Feltham Art Centre, collaborating within a small team to capture imagery for the annual Hounslow Talent Show. This opportunity allowed me to refine my photography skills, sharpen my ability to work within a group, and develop appreciation for community engagement within the arts sector. I was able to provide design input into the final post event newsletter.

During work experience at an award winning photography & arts company, I gained vital skills including learning professional image editing in Adobe Photoshop, subject placement for photoshoots, and experience using large scale industrial printers on various surfaces i.e. metal print. This enhancing my technical expertise in image reproduction and print production. me to proactively interact and gain exposure to varied client briefs in multi-disciplinary settings.
