I work in a small digital design team on a variety of different mediums, but I mostly focus on the creation of assets for our monthly marketing campaigns. The deliverables for these campaigns include retail website assets and creatives for our digital advertising display activity. I am also the lead designer on our CRO (Conversion rate Optimization) website tests. A number of these tests were hugely successful and were implemented into the current retail websites, resulting in conversion rate increases.When required, I am also responsible for presenting project designs and concepts to stakeholders, giving rational for design choices.During 2021 we had a part-time junior designer join the digital team and I began mentoring her on a 1-1 basis with tutorials, guidance, and feedback. As a result of this they increased their process times, overall quality of work, were confident in providing quality final files and clean source code which resulted in them being offered the full time role. I also have experience with planning and running photoshoots for our brand ambassador studio projects. These projects included briefing the photographer, talent, and other lottery staff on the requirements from both a digital and print perspective. I have also worked at a number of our customer-facing events such as the Prize giving Millions, where I have performed a number of jobs from admin to hosting winners.

During my time at the Lottery I also headed up the creative design on our e-Gaming products, which included Digital, Print and Video work.

The role required a great deal of time management and creative thinking, as well as being able to provide a great range of deliverables to 3rd party providers. The digital work I completed included but was not limited to full UI website designs and prototypes, custom game designs and sprite creation, animated SVG website elements and HTML landing page builds. I was also responsible for creating print readied materials for our press insert and other offline marketing activities.
