Graphic Design & Digital Marketing Tutor
-
Sep 2019 - Sep 2021
I decided to take a step out of the industry and pass on the knowledge that I have built up over the last 7 years’ and pass that onto others. Tutoring was always something that I’d wanted to try as I get a real buzz when seeing people develop and grow. I currently teach various different groups of adult learners and 16-19 year olds about Digital Marketing and Graphic Design. Topics that I cover include Search Engine Optimisation, Paid Search Marketing, Email Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Website Design and Branding. I am also in my final year working towards and achieving a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) teaching qualification. Show less

After working hard for 5 years, I was promoted to Lead Graphic Designer and Projects Manager.

The role also consisted of me thoroughly checking artwork and websites before they were sent to the client to ensure that they met the original brief.As a projects manager, my role was to ensure that creative projects run smoothly and all clients were kept up to date regarding the status of projects. I needed to ensure that my communication skills were effective both internally and externally. I built up really good relationships internally and externally in this role and often received positive feedback for my handling of projects. Show less
