I started Entropy Design back in 2013 to take on freelance projects whilst I was also in my full-time role at Uniplay. As my full-time role progressed, the freelance work had to take a back seat for a while as the job demanded more hours and responsibility as a Director. Although I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Uniplay, my progression necessitated the majority of my time be spent on tasks far away from my creative roots and so I left to pursue freelance design work full time in December 2018.Over the last year, I’ve gained a wealth of experience whilst working for myself. I’ve worked with a broad range of clients on creative print and web projects whilst maintaining my own business.Welcome to Entropy Design.

I progressed to Sales Director at Uniplay in 2016 at a relatively young age. I knew it would be a challenge to follow in the footsteps of a previous Director in the role with many more years experience, however, I relished in the opportunity and was dedicated to proving to myself and the team that I could lead the growth of the company. This was a demanding role, but if offered a breadth of experience and I learned a wide range of new skills. During this time Uniplay bought out Unistage, the company I previously worked for and it was also my responsibility to lead their sales team.KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Achieve monthly and annual sales targets for both companies.

I took on the role of Office Manager as Uniplay continued to grow. It offered my first experience in managing a team of all ages and backgrounds and was a fantastic life experience. I was still also heavily involved in Graphic Design at this stage. I was successful in the role and as I progressed was offered a Director role in the company.KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Manage Administrative and Design departments and ensure the daily business was timely and effective. Oversee Sales staff when Directors were out of the office. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS - High retention of staff. Continued growth for the company. Ensured staff morale was high and we had a tight-knit team that were best suited to their roles.

I moved from Unistage to sister company Uniplay in 2010. This side of the business at the time offered many more interesting opportunities in terms of design and ability to be creative. The job involved creating all printed, promotional and e-mail material as well as producing plans for clients. I got the opportunity to visit schools with the sales staff and offer my input on the design process of their playgrounds. As the role progressed I was given the opportunity to hire and manage an apprentice designer.KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - Manage all design output for the company, ensure files were print-ready or technically achievable to be produced into playground markings. Ensure all drawings were produced by the client’s deadlines. Manage and train design apprentice. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS - Becoming recognised for more than my design skills and being given the opportunity to progress to management. Producing artwork that was installed throughout the UK.
