Hi, I’m Sam. I’m a Creative Designer working in Print Production and Packaging, with a passion and enthusiasm for creating design across print, digital channels and packaging whilst maintaining an understanding of multiple print processes and technologies. In daily life I pride myself on being organised and having a keen eye for detail. I like to stay focused on a project to maximise my creative thinking. I enjoy problem solving and tackling dilemmas from all corners—after all, that’s what helps me improve. I also love thinking outside of the box, focusing on user experience in design and how it’s communicated, and putting myself in the client’s shoes to gain a clear understanding of a brief. I’ve spent over 10 years as a creative designer in agency roles, thriving in fast-paced environments and applying my varied skills to new projects. I hold a First Class BSc Hons in Professional Packaging from Sheffield Hallam University, a degree dedicated to packaging including sustainability, engineering, material technologies, supply chain and business management. With advanced skills in Adobe Creative Suite, I’m a fast learner always keen to learn more. And yes, I make a great cup of tea and coffee!…Hi, I’m Sam.
