Overview

• Digital Designer | AS Watson

  March 2019 – October 2020

  AS Watson own companies like Superdrug and Savers here in the UK and their equivalent around the world. I work with Marrionnaud in Italy for the most part, making web banners, emails and webpages, but also worked with Superdrug, Savers and Watsons. I also did webpages for our top suppliers such as Lacoste and Valentino. I once did the wall artwork for one of our offices in Milan, which was a fun side project!

• Marketing Designer | JCDecaux

  August 2018 – March 2019

  JCDecaux Group is a multinational corporation known for its bus-stop advertising systems, billboards, and street furniture. It is the largest outdoor advertising corporation in the world and I was working in their marketing department in a team of three designers. We made photo-realistic mock-ups of what campaigns could look like across various street furniture. That was mainly all done in photoshop and presented in custom PowerPoint templates that we made for each pitch.

• Graphic Designer (Maternity Cover) | RED SAP Solutions

  September 2017 – August 2018

  RED is a global recruitment agency for permanent and contract SAP professionals. I work there for a year doing maternity cover in the marketing department as a sole Graphic Designer. It was an incredibly fun and energetic environment to work in, where anything and everything got thrown at me on a daily basis. Merchandise, tickets, presentations, brochures, events stands…I learnt so much there from a lot of very talented people.

• Career break | Travelling Europe and Japan

  July 2015 – June 2017

  I spent a few years travelling! The first 8 months was backpacking through Europe, which was amazing and then I did a teaching course in Barcelona and got my first gig in Japan. I stayed there for a year teaching English before I came back home.

• Graphic Designer | Aviation Media

  May 2011 – April 2015

  Aviation Media is a publishing and events agency that focusses on aviation. I worked in a team of five to make sure all the event websites were up to date and materials were correct and shipped to the events on time. I also worked on 2 of their magazines alongside the editors to design the layouts and get it to the printers in a timely fashion.

• Marketing Assistant | World Challenge

  July 2009 – July 2011

  My first job out of university supporting the Marketing Manager to deliver campaigns throughout the year. I would coordinate all the materials and hand pack the mailings! It was here that I discovered when taking the invoices to accounts that you could get paid quite well to make things look nice! I asked my manager at the time for a course in InDesign and the rest is history!
