I'm offering
-------
I am a graphic and presentation designer with significant experience in creating design, artwork and assets for print, the web and social media. I am a great listener and analytical with a sharp eye for detail. I convey vision and deliver solutions. I am equally comfortable designing within existing branding and corporate identity, as well as ‘out of the box’ concepts and have produced discovery-based learning solutions, advertisements, newsletters, marketing collaterals, written brief for third parties, directed photo shoots and videos, designed pitches, workshop material, playbooks, conference presentations in PowerPoint, Goolge Slides and Keynote.
With exceptionally strong organisational and communication skills and a solution-seeking attitude, I am an all-rounder, artworking my own design. I work through all points of the design and production life cycle: from conception through development and project management to production and completion, comfortably liaising with clients, external print houses and other external stakeholders if required.
I have worked across sectors: for reputable agencies such as JWT, adam&eve, Havas London, OMD International, Hill & Knowlton, Saatchi & Saatchi, Conran, Euro RSCG and corporate such as Google, Knight Frank, Endpoint, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, Blackrock. I have worked on premium brands such as Unilever, GSK, Philips Morris International, Novartis, National Grid, SSE, Nestlé.
