John Rocha is one of Ireland’s best-known international designers. I was primarily responsible for creating original branded graphic design for use on the John Rocha Debenhams collections. This role required creativity and meticulous organisational skills as well as the flexibility to work to demanding deadlines, I developed exceptional project management skills in this role.
