Bio
Laura Thompson
I worked with Isobel for just under two years. When I first come to the company Isobel was a great help and really showed me all I needed to know about my role. Isobel was a great colleague and we worked well together on a range of different projects. She is proficient in the core Adobe programs and has experience in creating both print-ready and digital artwork. A lot of the projects that we worked together on were time-sensitive, this required Isobel to be organised and show great attention to detail. Isobel is very creative and is always thinking of new ways in which we can improve. We worked together on improving social media channels, e-newsletters, blogs, animations and product videos. I would recommend Isobel to any company that is looking for a hard-working, creative Graphic Designer who will be an asset to your team and a pleasure to work with.
