I'm offering
Hi! I'm Mel I am an organised, highly creative, enthusiastic designer that has a strong passion for all aspects of design and have a wide range of experience working with leading UK greetings suppliers where i worked on Christmas gifting projects, to photography projects - nothing was too smaller job for me!
I have a keen eye for detail and as a result I am able to incorporate trends into a portfolio of products. This includes anything from greeting cards through to ceramic homeware.
Each of my designs for all products are unique and are professionally presented using a variation of creative software packages. With each design brief I am able to adapt to different brand identities and styles whilst working in fast paced, high pressure environment.
As well as having a full time job I love getting creative behind the scenes and running my own little side hustle of designing, making and selling ceramic jewellery.
I'm happy to try anything, I'm well equipped with technical experience as well as creativity so just get in touch!
