2020- 2021
Graphic Designer 
at Sonovision UK
As a Creative Designer for Sonovision, I worked in a small team as part of the Marketing Department.

I designed interactive business presentations, help come up with and implement the company’s brand guidelines across all platforms, created promotional videos, and designed content for digital and print.
2019- 2020
Graphic Designer 
at Creative and Print Services - Loughborough University
My role as a Graphic Designer for Loughborough Universities’ in-house creative team, involved making marketing content online and for print. The Universities marketing team strives for content that is new and innovative yet follows the Universities brand guidelines and my role alongside my fellow creative team is to achieve this and more. Upon being given a brief, I was able to come up with ideas and strategies to launch whichever campaign was handed to me and see it through design until the end process- whether that be formatting artwork for web (i.e digital assets for social media, web banners, newsletters etc) or for small/large scale printing (Bus Shelter posters, pull-up banners for events, flags, packaging, brochures and posters). It’s essential that I familiarise myself with the brief and the intended audience before mood boarding and designing.

at Loughborough University
Elected from and by my peers to be the Chairman of the Hall Media Committee in June 2017. Representing the views of the Media Representatives from the 16 Halls at the University.  My role was to over see the 32 other Media representatives in ensuring they produce the highest quality media to promote both their halls and the University, in order to withhold Loughborough’s distinguished reputation.  I was also responsible for chairing meetings of the committee and having a casting vote on any matters that arose.
