Working on a range of briefs including website design, branding, literature, vehicle graphics, packaging and exhibitions. My clients range from Heat Pump Specialists to Shopping Centres, Engineers and Coffee Producers.The majority of my design work is worked on alone but I do collaborate with other team members on larger projects such as rebrands and pitches. I work very closely with the web developers on all digital jobs to ensure they meet the ever changing technologies and trends. I have developed strong client relationships by managing their expectations and work loads; whilst working in a very busy and challenging environment.I manage the progress of all new digital projects in the studio ensuring all time scales are met and the job runs as smoothly and efficiently as possibly. This includes designing and approving visuals within the team before they go to the client, collecting content and keeping a clear line of communication between all involved.As a senior member of the team, I am responsible for the smooth running of the studio in the absence of the Board of Directors.
