Available to hire
With my background in both fashion and graphic design, a keen eye for detail, and a passion for creating visually compelling designs, I am confident that I would be a valuable addition to your team.
I hold a BA (Hons) Degree in Fashion Design from Leeds College of Art University and have 9 years of experience in graphics - designing creative solutions for the retail/fashion sector. In my previous role at Poetic Brands, I was responsible for delivering high-quality designs for a variety of apparel and accessories, focusing mainly on unisex and menswear. However, I feel I would be more than capable to transfer my skills to any department. I thrive in collaborative environments and have consistently worked closely with marketing teams, developers, and clients to bring design concepts to life.
My technical proficiency includes Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). I am highly organized and detail-oriented, always ensuring that my designs meet the needs of the client while maintaining a cohesive brand identity.
