I’m an execution expert – managing design and digital projects from brief to delivering a cutting-edge, engaging and memorable solution. I’m curious, creative, collaborative and can-do. I think a sense of humour goes a long way, that relationships are crucial to a great working environment and that being upfront and accountable gives stakeholders the reassurance they need. I love strategic brand work as much as being on the tools. I’ve always been a hands-on designer with exceptional Adobe Creative Suite skills, as well as advanced Microsoft Office, UI and UX Design (which I studied at General Assembly), video editing and print production. My Associate Diploma in Journalism gave me many of the skills I rely on to provide full service creative, including sub-editing, layout and design, photography, PR and communications. I have worked on communications to large, diverse groups of consumers, business to business and to international employee communities. Having studied user experience design, I am passionate about my audience and ensure I always put the client first.KEY SKILLSBrand strategist and corporate identity management specialist.Trusted adviser to senior leaders with strong relationship building skills.Juggler of numerous projects, teams and demanding deadlines.Art director with conceptual vision and practical application.Experienced sub-editor and writer with an eagle eye for detail.Curious and interested in innovative solutions and improving efficiencies.Digital design including front and back end web development on various platforms including Vuture, Wordpress, Squarespace and SharePoint.
