Creative Consultant/Designer (Freelance)
The Football Association.
I am privileged to work in this role, providing creative and design support for The FAs Commercial Team, and help bring to life their presentation pitches for potential commercial partnerships. Over the last five years I have helped secure several high profile, multi-year, £multi-million partnerships with BT, LG, PayPal, Google Cloud, Weetabix, Xbox, Vitality, Nationwide, Deliveroo, Pokémon and Barclays among others, all to the benefit of grassroots football.
Heavily focussed on creative concepts, each project required me to be pro-active at researching, using intuition, foresight, and utilising limited information to pick up on a brands' visual identity to find creative solutions. My experience in photoshop visualisation, print design, copywriting, and packaging, to create retrospective 'campaigns' to show how these partnerships could work, supplying visuals for use in presentation decks.

Art Director/Designer (Freelance)
New Look.
I designed a commercially successful tights packaging range for New Look's collaboration with renowned British designer Giles Deacon. I art directed the shoot, retouched the images, setting up print ready files for production across Europe & Asia. The initial range generated over £1.5m profit and beating sales and profit targets by almost 100%, and was extended for wider store distribution with an increased range for the following season.
I also designed a press pack for their Gold by Giles cosmetics press launch, which included event invitation, press book and VIP sample bag. I shot all the photography for the press book, using a basic set up. The shots were also printed and mounted into frames to help dress the event. The launch generated in excess of £250k worth of press coverage, and was translated and printed in french. The range made sales in excess of £2million.

Senior Designer
Adworks Design.
I managed a small studio, organising workflows, project managing, providing creative support, mentoring and overseeing a
variety of projects for all sizes of companies, from concept through to delivery.
I designed an extensive portfolio for The Carphone Warehouse's 'Carat' employee engagement scheme, developing themed
concepts, in tandem with specific telecomm partner guidelines. Liaising with client and printer ensuring job completion within budgetary constraints, with oversight of all stages of production from art directing, illustration, asset sourcing, copy writing and proofing.
I worked in collaboration with Epson Europe marketing executives, liaising on delivery of packaging design and artwork
for their EMEA printer and consumables ranges. This involved localising the visual identity and technical specifications of around 50 individual products, from supplied Japanese templates. I developed a digital asset toolkit which helped to reduce turnaround time by around 30%. Artwork ready files were then sent back to Epson Corporate Head Office in Japan for distribution to their factories.
