I have oversight of all the charity’s creative output. Most work is created internally, with freelance support if needed, but I occasionally take on the role of brand guardian for work created by external agencies. I’ve worked on a wide range of collateral across various channels, including advice guides, reports, exhibitions and events, digital and UX design, social media, merchandise, moving image and more. We are currently undergoing a full rebrand, on which I am creative lead, using my knowledge of the brand and its audience to deliver an eye-catching, engaging and accessible visual identity. I appointed a Junior Designer in 2022 and have enjoyed mentoring them, encouraging greater responsibility and ownership whilst helping to improve their skills.

After a brief period of freelance work, I accepted the offer of a permanent position. As the company doesn’t have project managers, I was in direct contact with clients and responsible for my own time management – this was a very steep learning curve from my previous job. I worked on a wide range of projects from text and chart-heavy council reports to National Trust deckchairs and was in charge of a number of journals and periodicals.

Whilst at RY I helped some of the world’s leading companies tell their story (and some of the smaller ones too), be it through branding, corporate communications, print, online or moving image.Initially hired as a Junior Designer, I gradually took on more responsibilty and as well as working under art direction from senior designers, I also handled my own projects and gained valuable experience directing photo shoots and commissioning illustrators.

As part of a team of designers, I worked on recreating one of Damien Hirst’s medicine cabinet pieces for an exhibition at The Serpentine. This involved making exact copies of damaged or lost items of pharmaceutical packaging from the original piece, working from blurred photographs, similar items of packaging and my own judgement.

Working as part of the in-house marketing team, I was responsible for all graphic output. Liaising with college staff, printers and photographers, I produced a variety of programmes, brochures, invitations, advertisements, leaflets, posters, web icons and events diary mailing cards, often to tight and conflicting deadlines.

I worked on a number of in-store brochures and booklets for L’Oréal Professionnel and Toni&Guy hair salons. I also re-designed their range of in-store materials from service menus and appointment cards through to promotional folders and gift vouchers.
