Nearly 20 years professional experience has given me a diverse set of skills and expertise, working within a wide range of client sectors across varied design platforms. I have a proven track record of positive client-facing experience as well as leading teams. I have a sound understanding of the design process at all levels, taking projects from concept through to completion.
The past four and a half years has seen me lead a team of designers with various skill sets – from motion, to digital and print designers that work alongside creative, UX, strategy and planning teams. My main focus has been on accounts within the utilities, financial, motor and travel industries. The team has executed email, web and print campaigns as we've been able to improve and maintain a high level of customer interaction and satisfaction.
Internally, I have been heavily involved in creating and improving workflow procedures and developing a culture that helps the team enjoy coming to work. I bring a good level of energy and pride myself in mentoring junior designers by giving them opportunities to grow. I apply these skills to the wider agency by creating fun team building initiatives through fitness and social platforms - helping to create a strong work/life balance.
Apart from regularly attending various art/design exhibitions and workshops, I like to keep fit and active by going to the gym, running or trying my hand at various sports. If I'm not playing sport, I'm behind the scenes – using my design skills to create various club communications. I have been a coach, a "club person of the year" and was also the president of a London based Aussie Rules club for three years, helping boost the clubs profile within the local community.
Please take a look below at the various projects that I have enjoyed working on. I have a wide range of skills and understandings across different design platforms, but find it extremely important to keep learning by continuing to seek new opportunities that challenge me.
