Jun 2017 - Jun 2019
Managing the eBay Partner Network account at Feed, I worked very closely with the client. This started with the inital briefing, moving to working up concepts to provide solutions, presenting theseback to the client, and then creating and artworking all of the required design assets. These projects ranged from on/off-site banners, new business presentations, event branding and complete execution, digital/printed booklets and more. In this role I also managed several other designers within the business.

Feb 2014 - Jun 2017
During my time working as a Digital Designer at Feed, I've worked in a couple of different teams for certain clients. I worked in a small team designing CRM emails for eBay which was one of the biggest CRM accounts in Europe whilst always pushing innovation in emails with the tech team. After helping establish this new account for over a year, I was appointed to be a part of another team (Designers, Account Managers, Copywriters and Developers) that was assigned to handle a new client Betsson Group. This was another email marketing account and over the next 18 months we designed and built over 1000 emails across several brands and languages, whilst simultaneously pushing innovative ideas and executions in that particular field.

Native Studios (now Blumin) is a small agency, which was fantastic for my first full-time design role. I worked in a team of one other designer and the creative director, so I got to work on briefs from initial concepts through to final execution on my own, as well as working in a team on projects of a larger scale. I worked with many different clients in various sectors, which I enjoyed the challenge of being versatile in my design solutions and being able to target different audiences. The work was varied, some of which including branding, printed collateral, POS, websites and mobile apps.
