I am a highly motivated hands-on Senior Designer with over 20 years of diverse experience spanning pharma, retail, finance, luxury goods, travel and high-end property. My most recent role has been in health and wellness, delivering digital and print campaigns for leading global pharma companies. I have had a lot of experience within the retail industry, working at Procter & Gamble, covering beauty, consumer health and household brands. This has included everything from packaging and brochures to point of sale and large-scale campaigns. This breadth of experience has given me a versatile skill set across brand identity, marketing collateral, web and social content, presentations, events and large-format graphics, with additional knowledge of After Effects and UX. Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, I am known for my attention to detail and ability to deliver high-quality work under pressure. Based in Guildford, I bring adaptability, a collaborative mindset and a client-focused approach, with a proven ability to translate complex requirements into engaging, effective design solutions. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am eager to contribute fresh, innovative ideas to any team I join.
