About me

​ I'm constantly striving to shape my work towards responsible design practice in a discipline essential for communication and function within society.

During my time in industry as the solo designer, I have developed confidence in my ability to tackle diverse design challenges, honing my skills in digital and my understanding of social. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with various teams, clients, and stakeholders, refining my understanding of different audience types, communication and project management abilities along the way.

Experience

THE BLAKENEY GROUP

DESIGNER

JUNE 2023 - PRESENT

JUNIOR DESIGNER

SEPTEMBER 2022 - JUNE 2023

As the sole designer at a communications agency, I pay meticulous attention to detail, am both reactive and strategic in my thinking, and meet tight deadlines.

After just nine months as a Junior Designer, I was promoted to a new role—one that offered greater responsibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to shape it myself to build our brand and digital offering. This allowed me to become a trusted design specialist within the company, driving forward our design agenda through strong brand and visual communication.

My core responsibilities include the development of brands, executing campaigns, and creating social media content. Additionally, I handle internal marketing initiatives, video editing, as well as presentation, pitch and proposal design.
