While working at the University of Birmingham’s Guild of Students, I have employed creative flair for a variety of projects, helping to communicate vastly different messages. During a typical week, I could be managing the design and production of numerous marketing materials. For example, an awards ceremony, an anti-sexual harassment campaign and an international festival. Each requires its own approach to design and working with a range of different stakeholders all with tight and often competing deadlines.

During my time at Mecalac I had the opportunity to utilise and build upon my graphic design, video editing and web design (HTML/CSS) skills. I used Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator on a daily basis to create designs for print and digital. During my time in this position the company rebranded. I was heavily involved with this and it allowed me to utilise my skills and creative flair, working with the Marketing department to develop a completely new style and branding strategy.
