Design Intern

• May 2017 - Sep 2017

Primarily responsible for presenting the company’s products and ideas in an easy to understand way to clients. This involved creating infographics, power point presentations and animations. A strong understanding of the company’s products, branding, and values was vital to succeed in these tasks. In this position, I often had to work to very tight deadlines, and as I mainly worked from home, it was also vital to maintain good time management and discipline. During my internship I also taught myself new skills, such as animation, to be able to better support the company’s aims Show less

Designer

• 2014 - Aug 2017

Created promotional items for the EggMeat Conference 2017, including designing a logo, banners and conference programs. This project required me to introduce and convince the client of new ideas they had not previously considered. Through this position, I gained good experience of managing a project from inception to completion and of working with an organisation that is not design-orientated. I also helped set-up and dismantle the conference space. Created promotional items for the EggMeat Conference 2017, including designing a logo, banners and conference programs.
