• Graphic Designer

  • Apr 2021 - Feb 2022

  Tectah is one of the UK's fastest-growing payment providers. Specialising in both EPOS and Card Machines, the goal is to bring payments to everyone at affordable rates. As well as Tectah there are several other brands, each with their own focus that work in harmony with each other, these are: Payb, foodb, Reatilb, Free Card Machine and Orderingb. As their Senior Graphic Design, I oversaw maintaining the multiple brands under the Tectah name as well as leading the branding/rebranding on both Tectah and several of the other brands. We created strong social media identities for all the current brands so day to day involved keeping these relevant with both regular and paid social posts, we also started to experiment with creating video content in-house to drive more engagement across the brands. Both myself and the team also produced a range of printed materials and leaflets for or events such as exhibitions and client meetings. Ad-hoc tasks were incredibly varied but included creating artwork for the office, branding up signs to maintain our aesthetic/brand awareness and to work alongside the programming team to design the UI/UX of our various till softwares - foodb & Retailb.

• Artwork Designer

  • Apr 2019 - Jul 2019

  ID&C is the UK's largest provider of festival wristbands for both personal and commercial customers, with this came a fast-paced, demanding but ultimately rewarding work environment. As an artwork designer, I was responsible for the fast turnaround through multiple design channels within the business. Day to day involved dealing with online customer orders which could entail anything from providing mock-ups of artwork, digitally proofing the orders and making amendments where necessary and then liaising back with the customer for approval to process the order. The other aspect of the job came from larger clients who may submit a request for artwork via one of the sales team or may be a repeat client such as Live Nation, SJM, etc with either festival requests or bespoke one-off bands for an event. Primarily working in Adobe Illustrator we had to provide full, professional mockups, within a timely manner and to the strong specifications of the clients brief or even sometimes given more creative control. This came on top of managing all other aspects around the design side of the business so organization and a keen eye for detail were key.
