About

I remember using Microsoft Paint to create single covers for songs on Cheryl Cole’s debut album…

Little did I know that would be the gateway for me wanting to be a designer. Check out my actual real world CV below.

Mid-weight Designer - PinkNews (Sept 2022 - Feb 2024)

I played a pivotal role in translating conceptual ideas into visually compelling executions in designs and campaigns. With a passion for creativity and a strong eye for detail, I have consistently delivered impactful design solutions across various mediums. With my primarily commercial focus, I have worked on multiple campaigns for Strongbow, Clarks, Hinge, TfL, and more. 

My role also allowed me to create work across all areas of the business. This includes social, web, print and internal comms. With PinkNews being a diverse team of LGBTQ+ people creating content for a progressive generation, I have a deep understanding of speaking to this audience in an authentic voice. 

I found the biggest career highlight so far to be in supporting the junior designers within the team. This has developed my skill sets in management significantly.

Part of this role was speaking to clients directly, this included project management and creative innovation sessions. These sessions were an opportunity to flex and develop my storytelling and presentation skills.

My role included brand creation, graphic and web design. Along with social and web copywriting.

I was responsible for running, producing and creating content for multiple social media accounts for clients across different platforms, whilst maintaining their individual tone of voice and visual identity. This included graphics, photographs, animations, blog posts, SEO and print.
